Hi guys. 3 Many thanks for those awesome reviews. You guys rock!

I won't be able to update for a while because I won't have internet access for a few days...sniff...but I'll be back soon and update as soon as I can. But I'll still write! This I swear! So I'll make a deal :)

For every review I get for this chapter I'll add a chapter the very day I get back

Yep. That's the deal so remember: RRTAB! Read Review and Tell A Buddy! Reading is more fun if do it with a friend. ^-^

Disclaimer: I soooo own Sailor Moon. Well, a girl can dream, right?

It took 20 minutes for everyone to return. Ami showed me a beautiful silk baby blue dress with short sleeves and a small v-cut. I glanced to Mamo-chan. Serenity gave him some lavender dress pants and a white shirt that reminded me of Neo-King Endymion's outfit.

I turned my attention back to Ami-chan when she handed the amazing dress to me. "This is beautiful!" I told her. "Where did you find it? You guys didn't have any money and I'd doubt someone would lend such a beautiful dress to a bunch of strangers…"

Ami smiled. "Actually," she said, "the designer didn't like these outfits and was about to throw them out. Luckily, we noticed that this dress was about you size and she eagerly gave it to us and told us to take the suit, too."

I grinned, "It's amazing how lucky we are."

Ami nodded. "Wait until the people find out the Moon Princess and Earth Prince are wearing designer rejects."

The other sensei stepped up. "That's what we're trying to prevent," Minako-chan said in full seriousness. "We disguised ourselves as senshi so we'll still our powers to protect you."

To show that I understood, I nodded. "I going to change now," I announced. My guardians nodded and took a few steps back to meet Serenity. Mamo-chan and I waited. And waited. And waited. "Well?" I asked impatiently.

"Well what?" Serenity asked.

"Turn around!" Mamo-chan and I shrieked.

"Why?" Rei asked.

Minako rolled her eyes. "You're naked when you transform so we all saw yo—."

Her sentence was cut off by a snowball to her face. Snowball courtesy of Tsukino Usagi. "Turn around!" I wailed with my face flushed red with embarrassment.

Not wanting the same fate as Minako, everyone complied. We finally changed in peace.

"I'm tiiiiired," Minako complained after only thirty minutes of walking. Even I wasn't tired yet. "Let's take a break."

"Don't worry," Serenity said while looking straight ahead. "You'll have an eternal break if you fade from existence."

"Translation," Mako-chan said, "Suck it up and keep walking." After that, there was silence.

Two hours later, it was my turn to complain. "Are we there yet?" I asked for the fifth time.

"Gee, I don't know," yelled Rei sarcastically. "Are we in a magic-filled, mystical, high-tech, BABY BLUE PALACE YET? I DON'T KNOW!"

"Walking makes you touchy…"

Finally, a beautiful city covered in blue came into view. "There!" Serenity pointed. We stopped to take in the beautiful sight it took so long to get to (in Usagi terms). "Okay, we need to find the teleporter to get to the moon."

"After we check the ice rink for the Princess and Senshi," Mamo-chan reminded us.

Serenity nodded. "That's right. If memory serves the rink is publicly opened beside the palace."

I was really impatient at this point. "Come on!" I ran ahead. "We don't have forever!"

"Usako, wait!"

"Usagi!"

"Usa-chan!"

I didn't stop. Nothing could make me stop at this point. We were so close! I wanted Chibi-Usa back. I wanted my time and future back.

Breathing heavily, I opened the door and ran to the rank. My eyes scanned everywhere. No silvery-blonde hair in sight. Shoot!

I racked my brain, trying to remember if I ever disguised myself when I went skating during the Silver Millennium. Nothing came to mind. Really? The one time I need the help of these stupid memories they're nowhere to be found? What kind of crap logic was this?

"Miss?" a soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned to face a petite woman with blue eyes and braided blue hair to match. "Can I help you? You seem to be looking for someone."

I was that obvious? "Princess Serenity and the Sailor Senshi," I said in my best Sailor Moon voice that left little room for questions. "Were they here?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, until a few minutes ago." She smiled a little. Why? I don't know! THIS WAS NOT A SMILING MOMENT! "She was so graceful and beautiful. She attracted quite a crowd, that Princess Serenity."

I let out a frustrated sigh. Without knowing, this woman added two more problems to my plate. 1) I had terrible timing. 2) Every freakin' Serenity was ridiculously graceful except me. ANNOYING!

I forced a smile. "Oh. That's too bad. You wouldn't happen to know what day it is, would you?"

"September 17th."

"And when is the royal wedding?"

"In five days."

"You don't know where the princess went, do you?"

"She mentioned something about Mars, ma'am."

I stiffly nodded. Mars. Of course. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. "Thank you," I choke out.

She smiled and left. When she was out of sight, I sunk onto the floor.

I was so close. Why didn't I get here a few minutes sooner? My eyes stung and I let the silent tears fall down my face.

I missed my key to survival by mere minutes!

Sorry it's short but I wanted to update before I left. Remember the deal! ^-^ Love you guys!
