Chapter 6: The Game Plan
((((((Present))))))
Ami was sitting with the rest of the scouts at the arcade after their classes at school ended. They were currently waiting for their food to get to the table and they were all a little antsy. Lying to Usagi's parents had been a nightmare, they wouldn't stop asking questions and Ami had to stay on her toes to answer them all. The current story was that Rei's grandpa was really sick and she needed help around the temple and Usagi had offered. Since Minako was pretty good with imitating Usagi's voice she talked to them on the phone about staying there until he was better.
School was another story all together. Ami was picking up all of Usagi's assignments and completing them for her under the pretense that she was home sick and she was dropping off her homework and picking it up for her. She had hacked into the school database and changed Usagi's phone number to Michiru's cell phone so she could pretend to be her mother when they called to check up on her.
"Hey guys, here is your order," Motoki stated giving each of the girls their food, " so where has Usa-chan been?"
All the girl sighed in unison, they knew this conversation was coming and it wasn't right to leave him in the dark about all this so Ami began to tell him of the situation.
((((((Past)))))))
"Want some?" Usagi questioned Mamoru motioning to the coffee.
"Sure, I never pass up coffee," he smiled and she giggled.
"I know," she stated pulling out another mug, " It's a good thing Motoki keeps things here."
"I wonder why," Mamoru mused as Usagi set the coffee in front of him and he took it.
"You don't know?" Usagi smirked thinking about how she had found this place, "well, Motoki brings Rita here for romantic weekends."
"No way! Seriously? How did you find this out?" he almost spit out his coffee.
"I walked in on them," she shuddered remembering the image that was forever engraved in her mind. They both laughed.
" So how did you get to this time period?" Mamoru questioned.
"I'm really not sure, I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning I was in the middle of the park with Luna yelling at me and freezing my ass off," she explained and he nodded.
" So nothing unusual happened last night?" he asked and she thought about it. Her and Luna had been talking about Mamoru and how Usagi just wanted to see him and hear his voice at least once. She sat there thinking about what could have happened afterwards, the crystal. The silver crystal had brought her here! At least, that is what she was concluding.
"Nothing unusual happened last night . We haven't had any Youma attacks within the past week," Usagi explained staring down at her coffee. She couldn't exactly tell him she thought she was here because her crystal might have granted a wish of hers.
"That is about the same time the more difficult youmas showed up here, the scouts haven't been able to defeat them and Mars has been blaming Sailor Moon for not being strong enough but that sure explains a lot. So what does this enemy want?"
"They are pretty much trying to wipe out all the scouts and get their star seeds. There is this thing called the Sailor Wars, it has been going on for a decades. They are trying to wipe out any hope anyone has. Sailor Galaxia was originally a good scout but she defeated chaos a long time ago. Slowly Chaos has been taking over her mind and body. We have only met her once but once she knew we existed she started sending her lackeys after us, " Usagi explained to the best of her knowledge. It was in that moment that her stomach growled and Mamoru couldn't help but laugh, "I'm sorry, I haven't ate anything since lunch yesterday."
"Well then, should we order some pizza?" he questioned pulling out his phone.
"At 9:30 at night?" she questioned looking at the clock. He shrugged and she couldn't keep the smile off her face, " extra large pepperoni pizza extra cheese, light sauce and an order of cheese sticks please!"
Mamoru couldn't resist laughing at her childish antics and her excitement over pizza. He ordered the pizza and once he hung up the phone there was a scratch at the door.
"Please don't freak out!" Usagi exclaimed as she rushed to the door to open it. Luna walked in and was about to say something when she saw Mamoru and meowed instead.
"Why would I freak out over a cat Odango?" he questioned squatting down to pet the cat on the head, "why does she have a crescent moon on her head?"
"Meet Luna, my adviser," Usagi stated and Mamoru just stared at the cat.
"I think you have officially lost it," he stated and he could have swore he heard the cat shaking in laughter.
"That's what everyone thinks," Luna piped in and his eyes went wide while staring at the cat that was now looking at him with wide eyes, " Hello Mamoru."
" Hi?" he questioned looking over to Usagi.
"Hey Luna, where have you been? Ami-chan contacted me, must have done something with her Ipad," she stated sitting back in her chair as Luna jumped on the table.
"I was trying to get Artemis to believe me but I had no luck, my past self wouldn't let me anywhere near him," Luna pouted and Usagi laughed.
"Sounds like she was jealous to me," she snickered and Luna raised her paw to scratch her, " you scratch me and you won't get any pizza."
The cat's paw fell back to the ground and she grumbled to herself.
"What did Ami say?"
"That Pluto went to get Chibiusa so we need to hurry up and get my past self to form the silver crystal before Galaxia finds out about it," Usagi explained.
"I'm sure she already knows about it, how many crystals do they have?" Luna asked.
"None, I stole them and Mamoru had the rest so we just need to figure out a way to get the scouts here to trust us. Ami-chan wants me to approach her past self since she will be the one least likely to attack first and ask questions later,"
The three came up with a plan to get Ami alone so they could talk. They were going to use Mamoru and have him ask her for help with something school related, she was sure to come if it involved school. The pizza had been delivered and they were all eating just talking about random things.
"Usagi, why don't you give Ami-chan a call and see if they have made anymore progress," Luna suggested and she pulled out her Ipad and called Ami.
Artemis face appeared on the screen and Usagi got confused.
"Where is Ami Artemis?" she questioned as someone turned the camera around and she saw all of her friends dancing around to music, "Um, what are they doing?"
"A guess Rei got a new video game and they wanted to try it out, it's called Just Dance, if you ask me this is the most entertainment we have had in awhile. Makoto can't dance to save her life, watch this!" he exclaimed as they watched all four girls trying to keep up with the song. When the song ended the girls turned around to figure out where laughter was coming from. They saw Ami's Ipad and four figured laid out on the ground laughing their asses off.
Luna was the one to recover first and started to glare at Artemis for letting them play video games while they were stuck in the past with Galaxia.
"Remind me never to play that game Luna, at least not when a camera is around, oh my God, that was so hilarious!" Usagi exclaimed before taking a deep breath to calm down.
"Shut up Odango, it isn't funny. What are you doing calling so late anyways?" Rei questioned coming closer to the screen.
"Luna told me to call, I didn't expect there to be a dance party going on though, celebrating that you get to be leader for awhile while I'm gone?" Usagi questioned grinning.
"No! And there is nothing really going on here, Pluto got back a few hours ago…"
"What do you mean? I thought she went to get Chibiusa," Luna stated looking to Usagi.
"Chibiusa should be there any minute now. Pluto came to tell us that we needed to be ready to teleport there the minute the barrier goes down," Minako explained.
"How is the barrier going to go down?" Usagi questioned them.
"I think that if you get all three of the crystals together and concentrate hard enough it will break through Galaxia's barrier. The only problem is that we don't know how strong your past self is and how long she will be able to hold onto the crystal," Ami explained their plan and Usagi agreed.
"Don't worry about it guys, I have a plan," Usagi stated before hanging up on them.
"Just in time, Sailor Moon just transformed," Mamoru stated walking to the door.
"And I feel Chibiusa's energy coming from the same direction. Lets go!" Usagi exclaimed as they ran off to follow the energy signals.
