Teen Summer
The beautiful golden dawn was slowly making its way into the periwinkle heavens above the Xanadu-like city of Crystal Tokyo. The grass was greener the green the buildings taller than tall and more pristine than ever.
And in the center the Crystal Palace shimmered and dazzled like a sparkling ray of hope and something out of a dream as the sun slowly ascended into the heavens above.
Though most of the New Silver Millennium were still sound asleep even as dawn was gracing this idyllic world of peace and happiness. There were though three little ones stirring early inside the Crystal Palace.
Sleeping a little ways from a pair of large slightly heart shape pale pink doors were three young adolescent kittens. Not really young but what would be the human equivalent of a pre-teen.
They're huddled together to keep each other warm and cozy even though it appeared like they should've been sleeping in a basket or cat bed of some kind not on the floor outside a room.
Looking at them closer it was obvious from a glance who these three were for their appearance gave it away if not for their own crescent moons on their foreheads. Three kittens all with crescent moons on their foreheads whispering in their sleep?
They're obviously Luna and Artemis's litter and the talking felines who'd had aided the Senshi in the past weren't the proud parents of just one kitten but three. Two beautiful daughters and a son.
Their eldest had wrapped her black and white body joined with her younger brother so they could give their little sister extra body warmth. She was the biggest being the first-born and like her mother quite beautiful whom she most resemble.
Her name was Comet and Comet was the spitting image of her mother Luna other than her tips of her ears, tail and feet were as white as her father. Around her neck she wore a collar of gold with the letter 'C' hanging from it.
Her younger brother the middle child and only son was the opposite in coloring and had his father's green eyes and wore the same collar of gold with the letter "A" hanging from it for "Asteroid"
Comets after all did pass by the moon all the time and Asteroids did make the craters on the moon. And their parents had also wanted to slightly break of tradition a tiny bit when they'd named them.
But there was one thing Comet and Asteroid did both take seriously which is why their younger sister and the runt of their litter was in the center of their sleeping. Diana was the youngest and the most naïve so they took their job of protecting her and watching over her most seriously.
So the small gray kitten with the pink eyes smiled contently wrapped in her big brother and sister's love and warmth as she dreamed happily. However their content sleeping was about to be disturbed soon.
Comet was very strange for a cat as she could always sense when the sun rose into the sky and awoke as soon as it was in skies outside. So the second it was in the sky she woke from a dead sleep.
"Oh, no. It's sunrise already? And summer is coming to an end? We best get moving before she wakes up. Asteroid? Diana? Get up now! We must get moving or something gonna happen! Wake up brother! Sister!" she ordered kindly as she tried to wake them. Her brother not as gently as her sister.
Asteroid was never a morning person so he was always the hardest to wake up and Diana wasn't easy either but Comet was gently with her then her little brother. She took her claws out to wake her brother.
"YEOW! COMET!" he yelled loudly as he rubbed his left ear she had pinched hard to wake him up with.
"A thousand and one apologizes, little brother, but it's dawn and we need to get moving!" she warned him and he looked still sleepy and moaned at his elder sister.
"Comet, please, can't we just sleep in like we used to when we once sleep inside Small Lady's room? When we did sleep in our nice a comfy bed? With feather pillows and silky blankets? Not in all these crazy places like we've done all summer?" he moaned as he rubbed his sorely.
"You know why we've spent this whole summer not in Small Lady's room, brother. You were there when school let out and she became first infect with this fever that is slowly become an obsession with her," Comet reminded her brother giving him a stern look with her ruby red eyes just like their mother's.
"Yes, dear brother, Small Lady really did change once the school year end and summer vacation began. She really started to spend so much time in front of her mirror and she didn't do that before.
I hardly recognize her these days with how she looks or behaviors. She's becoming a whole new person. It such a bizarre transformation. Isn't that why you told us we should move out temporary from our bed, Comet?" Diana inquired curiously to her elder sister who nodded.
"She's been going on all summer long for three hours every morning in front that mirror about how beautiful she's becoming. How tall she is, how her long her hair is getting, the clothes etc., etc.," shaking her head in a bit of annoyance.
"We are all happy for her after what she endured for 900 years of course and these past 12 years of course have been a real treat for her but still she can't just focus on the fun things and not on the serious things…"
"Oh come on, Comet! Must you always act so mature yourself? Just because you're first born can't you have a little fun? So Small Lady is happy and having fun. What's wrong again as you pointed out given what she had to endure for the first 900 years of her long life?"
"Yes, Comet what wrong with having time to play? Isn't life supposed to be about having a little fun? You're only a kid once and she's just enjoy the perks of what come with it now that she's well…" but Comet cut her off.
"I'm not saying Small Lady hasn't earn her right to have the fun with what finally has happened that was long overdue in her case. I'm not saying that at all. But it can't be all play and no work. No more than all work and no play.
However in life you must find the balance and right now she's only thing on her mind is just play and not what it really means to grow up!" Comet told her brother and sister what was on her minds and frankly what was on more than a few minds inside the Crystal Palace.
However whatever the kittens had been arguing about which hadn't been clear was about to make itself very clear to everyone. They'd been sleeping outside Small Lady's bedroom door and hadn't realized they'd been too close to the door itself.
The door was threw open unexpectedly with such energetic force the kittens were all thrown in different directions down the corridor and the sound of gleeful laughter was heard as it the silhouette of someone was standing in the doorway.
The person stood there for a moment before they left the shadows and emerged a preteen pink haired girl with long pigtails and dark red eyes dressed in a white T-shit with lavender shorts that had moons, stars and hearts on them, and pin to her shirt was an unusual jeweled winged heart shaped brooch with tiny star in the center.
"A brand new beautiful day! Oh this is so great! It's a perfect summer day and soon life will be even more perfect day!" the pink haired youth squealed loudly as she pirouette so her long pink pigtails went flying about.
She was sort of singing as she danced and spun. "Everything is gonna be perfect! Everything is falling into place! This is just great! This summer been perfect! I'm the leader of the Neo Senshi! Then in three weeks I start eighth grade! It will be a perfect school year with so many fun and cool adventures and then when June rolls around next year the greatest event of my life! I'll be a teenager finally! Yippee!"
And with that she started to do flips and cartwheels down the hallway and if this looked strange or odd it wasn't. This is fact had been going on almost on a daily bases since summer vacation has started the only difference was the kittens usually didn't get thrown into the walls.
The pink hair pigtailed girl with the oval shaped odangos looked shocked when she saw her pets had been hurt by her overzealous antics and she quickly gathered them up and made sure they're okay. Then apologized like a proper lady and princess kissing them all on the forehead.
"It's alright, Small Lady, we understand how important it's been to you to finally be aging once more. We can understand why you're so excited," the all said at once and the girl blushed as pink as her hair.
For this was in fact Chibiusa as she'd been called in the past so not to be confused with her mother Usagi. For some unknown reason no-one had figured out like no-one had figured out why she'd stopped aging in the first place; having been stuck in the body of a 6 year old for 900 years; after she'd return to the 30th century for the finally time 12 years ago something miraculous had taken place. Chibiusa had start to age once more.
What had her so darn excited was this meant now 12 years later at the chronological age of 912 was next summer on her 913th birthday that would mean finally physically, mentally and emotionally she'd reach adolescent in other words she be a teenager at last. Which for Chibiusa would be one step closer to becoming an adult and a 'lady'.
She really did look almost identical to her mother Usagi did in her youth only being about an itch and half shorter on the other hand the hair was the same length. So other than being a slightly shorter at the moment she and her mother when she met her in the past were the same except for hair and eye color of course.
Chibiusa was very happy all the same and you couldn't wipe the smile off her face these days. She woke up happy and went to bed happy. She was just in awe the changes to her body as they'd mention her spending so much time in front of the mirror.
(Particular now that she was wearing her first bra. She'd squealed so deafeningly with euphoria about wearing it she about cracked the Crystal Palace in two. Her parents were wondering what she be like when her first period came how over the moon she'd be about that. They're really worried if the Crystal Palace still be standing if her scream of elation from becoming a woman, which was guaranteed to be louder than the scream about the bra. So they'd just prayed everyday their home wouldn't fall down.)
Seeing the young princess so full of giddiness at the moment and hoping to tone it down some her beloved guardians asked the young princess where she was off to in such a rush.
"Oh, I'm on my way outside to play some Power Volleyball, you know to help train my Senshi team? Ever since Mom declared me old and wise enough to begin training the Neo Senshi at the beginning of summer vacation we've been trying to think of some very creative ways to train in becoming the new Sailor Guardians we assume our mothers duties," she explained in a rush as she had transformed her old Luna-P ball into a volleyball.
"Hmm, I guess that would explain the odd things you and the other girls have been doing all summer," Comet mused.
"You have had some funny ideas, Chibiusa on how to become a stronger team and become a team in general," Asteroid began to rattle off the young princess's ideas for training a Senshi team. "I mean your first idea at the beginning of the summer was one of your most odd and radical, I'll admit.
You imprisoned each of your teammates with the person that got along with the least in a Crystal Holding cell then using only minor clues made them work together on a mini scavenger hunt to build a jack to open the cell."
"Well, it did force them to work out their difference, didn't it, Asteroid? It also involved teamwork, cooperation, and communication and helped them bond? Even if it took some over 24 hours to complete the challenge," she remembered how Christen who was Sailor Mars's daughter had the hardest time working with Sailor Jupiter's daughter Ariel on the assignment.
"You also have had them work on other exercise to work on faith and trust with one another, Small Lady. After all that's why you had them walk a tightrope all blindfold, didn't you?" Diana inquired to which Chibiusa nodded again.
"Yes, we've done a lot of seemingly odd exercise or strange things but believe me, Diana, in the end it will all prove useful before we actually really start getting to actually transforming into our Senshi forms and using our powers in actual combat.
For now we've to work on other things before we get to that level and that's what this summer been about. Learning to have trust, faith, confidence, belief and good communication so we can become one cohesive team with solid teamwork.
Also like with today's volleyball game and the other sports we've been playing with starting to explore our powers we are also building up our physical prowess at the same time.
So, my furry friends, we're all gaining strength, speed, agility, stamina and endurance. With again the ability to work as a cohesive team and also a fun and playful way to learn about teamwork and strategy. It's truly a clever and fun way to have a good time and get training in at the same time."
"Hmm, maybe we underestimated you, Chibiusa. Perhaps you do have some understanding about the balance of work and play. Or at least a marginally understanding of it," Comet comment approvingly.
Chibiusa blushed and looked a bit fluster at that but sighed, "Okay, maybe I have been a bit too keyed up lately, Comet, but that's why I could use your three help more than ever."
"Us? You want us?" the three adolescent kittens inquired in stunned voices.
"Yes, I surely could use all my friends and your wisdom now if I'm gonna be a good leader of the Neo Senshi."
"Nice to know you know you need help," they started to say when she got a playful smile and added, "Plus I could use another player for Power Volleyball and two referees. Besides any excuses for you three to take human form is a good one, right?" she asked in a slightly sneaky way.
The three kittens looked at each other in an equally sneaky way and nodded, "We'd loved to play with you Small Lady. Give us a minute to change."
The three young kittens formed a triangle and closed their eyes slowly and their crescent moons began to glow brightly as a brilliant aura surround each of them. Then three beams shot out of their moons and form a full moon in the center of the triangle. Instantly Chibiusa's new brooch opened up and her Silver Crystal pulsated and there was flash of brilliant light.
When it died down where three kittens at the feet of what appeared to be a 12 year old girl where now three young 12 year old children. Two girls and a boy all dressed in T-shirts and shorts with crescent moons on their foreheads.
It was easy to tell who was who by coloring. Comet looked very much like her mother's human form except her four odango buns were white like her ears and her long black hair only reached her mid-back. But her eyes were still red and her collar was now a choker necklace wearing black and white.
Asteroid's human form resembled his father's too. But the last three inches of his long hair was black and his color was a long necklace now wearing white and black.
Diana had just small gray odangos and gray t-shirt and shorts but she had finally lost the tail she usually had in human form. Though her collar was still around her neck like a chocker necklace.
They swayed a second before they got their balance. "Sorry, there always a sense of vertigo when we become human. Since we go from four legs to two. So what do you wish us to do now, Chibiusa?" Comet asked the young princess.
"Comet, can you please go wake up Crystal, Gracie and Christen? Asteroid you shall go wake up Ariel, Emily. Diana you get up Holly, Alexis and Trisha and have all of them meet me outside at volleyball court in twenty minutes!"
"Understood, Small Lady!"
"I'm going to go make a quick stop at the kitchen to pick up some breakfast power smoothies for all of us so we have something to give us nutritious and so we don't get dehydrated either! Let's go in the name of the moon make the most of this day!"
"Yeah!" and with that the four of 12 year old looking kids bolt down the crystal corridors of the Crystal Palace nearly bowling over their parents coming down the opposite corridor not that they even saw them.
"Oh my!" was all they had time to say as the four preteens were a laughing as they blazed so fast past they're just a blur.
"We're almost road kill for the fifth time this week! This is getting ridicules!" Artemis said in an exasperated tone as their gaze followed the youngsters as they took off in different directions at the end of the corridor.
"It's not been that many times, Artemis, no need to exaggerate," his beautiful wife tried to sooth him.
"Luna, please, don't try and downplay this one more time. It's obvious our own children are becoming slowly infected by the contagious fever of Small Lady's!"
"It's not a fever, Artemis but they're simply growing up as our all children in this Crystal Palace. And yes even our own children are becoming teenagers. Yes the dreaded word you don't want to say but yes even Comet, Asteroid and little Diana will be next summer teenagers."
"UGH! I can't believe we're gonna have a palace full of them! This is bad, especially since it seems Small Lady is starting to act just like how her mother was at that age, no offence intend, my Queen!" Artemis added hastily when he saw the regal beautiful queen look affront from his words.
It was obvious though she'd stopped aging at the tender age of 22 and was well over a 1000 years old she hadn't forgot what she was like when she was around the age her daughter was about to enter in a sense.
Given how the Silver Crystal all but stopped the aging process aging in sense didn't fall under normal terms anymore. So even if her daughter was 912 now she was in a sense if you wish to speak in the old way a girl on the verge of becoming a teenager yes.
And Neo Queen Serenity remember all too clearly what she was like as a teenager. Lazy, poor student, crybaby, clumsy more into having fun then taking on responsibility. She was a bit silly and well a fun and loving girl but compared to who she was now?
If you compared Neo Queen Serenity to a young Usagi Tsukino? You'd never guess the two were the one in the same not with how drastically she'd grown up and matured. Though in some small ways she was the same like she was still a poor speller and few things like that.
But no, no-one would ever really see the girl who once a blonde lazy schoolgirl who never showed up on time for class to the regal beautiful goddess who created a paradise for the world.
"You really have come a long way, Usagi since you're a teenager yourself, but now that your own daughter is approaching her formative years it might be a good idea to have a talk with her?" Luna suggested kindly.
"I understand your concerns, Luna, I really do. I may now be over a 1000 years old, but I do know you haven't forgotten who I used to be. Nor have you forgot either my love," glancing upward at her husband who only smiled.
"You'll always be my Usako even if everyone else calls you Neo Queen Serenity and I shall always be your Mamo-Chan. But Luna does bring up a good point Usako. Since our beloved and precious daughter is no longer a little girl and is about to embrace adolescence along with all the other girls, it would be a good idea to have a serious talk with them."
"That does go for your children as well, Artemis," the King added looking down at the snow white cat who looked a bit miserable at having to have this talk. He after all had two daughters who become teenagers and one teenage son. So it wasn't a pleasant conversation to think about.
"Yes, my beloved, Mamo-Chan we should spend the day with the rest of our friends thinking of the best way to have the talk of what growing up actually means. That it not about the fun things that our daughter is way too focused on, which unfortunately I spent my youth to focused on," the queen remembered.
"My Queen there nothing wrong with fun as long as one remembers there is a balances with fun and responsibility and it was you becoming Sailor Moon that helped you become a mature, caring and brave young woman that led you to become the wonderful queen you are today." Luna reminded her with a glowing smile.
"Thanks for the compliment, Luna, but still let us gather the rest of our friends and talk this over with them in the Crystal Dining Hall and best discuss how we are to have this talk about what growing up actually means?
We will already be spending the rest of the year planning next June big birthday bash to celebrate all of the turning 913 since all of them have June birthdays and we are just celebrating on Small Lady's birthday as one huge party, still we have much to do from now till then. So shall we retire to the Dining Hall for now and get these discussion underway?"
"Yes, let get to do it, Usako. Shall I ask the kitchens to send up a huge stake of chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate milkshakes for breakfast as well?" her husband asked in a playful manner showing there was a hint of their younger selves still in them.
"Yes, let us be our kid selves for a couple hours again and indulge in sugar and carbs today and just pig out!" the queen replied in the exact way she'd done when she was 14 years old.
With that the King and Queen took down the hall as if they're once more the age they were when they'd met over a 1000 years ago and Luna and Artemis had a hard time catching up feeling that this teenage fever was very contagious if it made the King and Queen act like kids themselves!
Right now gathered outside under golden warm sun on the well-kept sports field on the backside of the Crystal Palace was Chibiusa with the rest of the daughters of the Sailor Senshi who would form her team.
The Neo Senshi and right now all their Senshi uniforms had transformed like Chibiusa's clothes into T-shirts and shorts. Their Senshi uniforms could transform to match any form of training outfits that they needed for training purpose.
So as they gathered outside Chibiusa looked at her teammates in the order of their planets as they gathered brought in by her pets in human form and was just smiling widely as each stepped forward.
Sailor Mercury's daughter was named Crystal who wore her light brown at a medium length that framed her face just right to make her light crystal blue eyes sparkle like the water she commanded.
She wasn't as smart like her mom; on the other hand she was a very passionate about her many other interests. And put that same passionate energy into everything else she did and that included Senshi training!
Sailor Venus's daughter was named Gracie and she was just as fun loving as her mother before her though not as flirty thankfully. Her long shiny flowing hair was bright flaming red that highlighted her brilliant emerald green eyes.
Gracie had an eye for detail as she wanted to be a photograph and it was that eye for details that would prove key in the future for the team as long as they didn't encounter bug monsters as she'd a strong phobia against bugs and spiders.
When it came to Sailor Mars's daughter Christen there was always some tension with everyone else on the team. Just looking at the young girl and her attitude problems she was one that didn't mix well with the rest of the group and there was a rivalry with her and Chibiusa.
Christen was a Goth with a superiority complex problem. She'd her mother's long jet black hair and dark eyes. Nevertheless it was her nasty attitude trying to constantly show up everyone and feeling she should be in charge as well as her dark ways that were worrisome to the other girls that caused the most problems.
It was Sailor Jupiter's daughter Ariel who tried harder than anyone else to keep Christen in check. Ariel was very smart and very pretty with her light brown crimped medium length hair and hazel eyes. She also like her mom was the physically the strongest and master black belt already.
That was the daughters of Sailor's Moon team of Inner Senshi now Chibiusa turned to look at the Outer Senshi's daughters who would be part of her whole team as her team was made up of all the planets and the moon herself.
First up was Sailor Saturn her old friend Hotaru's own daughter Emily. Unlike her pale skinned mother Emily had a year round natural tan with short ebony black hair and big chocolate brown eyes.
Also unlike her mother Emily was determined to live life to the fullest and never seem to slow down and was creative in both art and writing.
Then were the adopted daughters/sisters of Uranus and Neptune. Uranus's daughter was Holly and Neptune's was Alexis and they're best friends and sisters to the end.
Holly was a towhead with brilliant bottle green eyes and her sister Alexis had long wavy coffee brown hair and sapphire blue eyes. Holly was smart, caring and upcoming fashion designer and Alexis was the younger sister and youngest Senshi. A little unconfident who looked up to her sister and easily scared.
The final Senshi was Pluto's daughter Trisha who had lengthy wavy chocolate brown locks and dazzling jade green eyes. Like her mother she was a very mysterious young girl. Silent, watchful, but a fierce fighter and swift to attack with ambitions to be a hairdresser.
Everyone except of course Christen looked bright eyed and bushy tailed and eager to play and enjoyed this training exercise. Again Chibiusa had be quite creative this summer in how they'd begun their training.
Christen had been complaining loudly they hadn't even transformed into their proper Sailor Senshi forms yet and had been doing meaningless games and pointless exercise and if she was in charge they'd be doing already hard core battling and be ready to take down a million monsters and already be better than their mothers were!
The other girls had already heard this a million times before and had already countered too. Chibiusa was the leader because her mother had been the leader before. She was also right before they could transform they'd to be ready in mind, body and spirit before they could become Senshi.
This summer was their training camp and this games and exercise had neither been pointless or meaningless or stupid in any shape or form. They had as the Comet, Asteroid and Diana been told and reiterated themselves as they got the volleyball court ready helped the girls in many ways.
These games and exercise had indeed help sharpen their minds, built them up physical, and made them able to trust and believe in themselves and one another. So together they'd be able to work as a team so when they did transform they could take it too the next level.
But till they really reached that next step which would hopefully be by summer's end they wouldn't be actually doing real battles in the Senshi forms till at least the school started in the fall. So once again they told Christen to shut her trap and accept this was how training would go and just accept she wouldn't transform till the time was right.
Again Chibiusa hadn't transformed herself till she was 900 years old! Furthermore it hadn't come to pass till it was trigged by her grief for Trisha's mother's sacrifice for her.
Thus things don't occur till their proper time and place not a second before then! Yes, waiting can be extremely hard; on the other hand they also had to learn to be patient as part of their training. Chibiusa pointed out she waited nine centuries to become a Sailor Senshi. Therefore they could wait till end of the summer for their chance to turn into Senshi!
With that argument once more settled for the moment they broke into teams for the game. Inner verse Outer with Diana playing on the Outer side and Comet and Asteroid being referees.
The object was to use their powers in a non-transformed state to keep the ball in play. The ball was the target and this was again about building them up physically while at the same time working on communication, teamwork and testing out their powers for the first time.
So they spent the first few game just trying to summon their powers. A few of them had a harder time then others summoning their powers. Alexis, Trisha, Crystal and Gracie had a hard time at first summoning their powers. Holly, Ariel, Emily had an easier time.
Christen did well summoning her powers but once again showed off and didn't work with the others to help them in any way to summon their powers. They're supposed to help by being encouraging and being friends.
Christen was clearly thinking only of herself and showing everyone she was the best. Chibiusa did her best to help bring out everyone best and let them see the light within themselves and her cats then started to rotated in and out and helped make the game more interesting.
The game got more and more interesting but by 3:00 pm after Christen intensified her fire abilities to really smoke the ball and nearly took off the kittens' heads during a time out Chibiusa had had enough and yelled at Christen.
"Christen enough! We had a time out! We're taking a five minute break! And you nearly killed my cats! What is with you?! Why can't you just chill for even a five minutes?!" the princess demanded as the gothic diva narrowed her dark eyes at the bubblegum haired girl.
"If you can't take the heat princess get out of the game! This is so stupid! We are supposed to be warriors! Warriors should be fighting battles! Not training by playing a silly game!"
"Christen, I've told you these games and exercise will sever a greater purpose later when we get to the point we can train in our Senshi form! And my mother and your own mother approved of my training program when I present it to them before this summer began!
Why can't you accept I'm the leader?!"
"You didn't earn it! Just because your mother was the leader doesn't mean you should be leader! You should earn it! And it should go to the strongest and most powerful and you're not that!"
"I've fought in battles! You have fought in none! I've been on both sides of the coin. I was once evil and I've to live with the memories of what I did as Black Lady!
I've earned this Christen believe or not! If you can't accept I'm sorry but I did earn the right to be leader. I'm the rightful heir to be leader of the Sailor Senshi not just as Sailor Moon's daughter but I've proven it by my own deeds! So deal with it already!"
It looked like the two girls were about to spill blood when a rush of powers split them apart and everyone cried enough!
"Alright everyone let's just cool it! Like right now! Christen? Can you for one day just one day let it go? Just take a day away from this doom gloom and enjoy the fact its summer?" Crystal beseech the Gothic girl who looked like she rather swallow poison.
"Come on, Christen, just have some fun and let's forget the this argument and focus on the good stuff that's coming up and not get tangled up in knots over something dumb and stupid! Let's let bygones be bygones, okay?" Grace implored once more the dark child who finally conceded and nodded.
"That's better and you too, Chibiusa as you said you rather be called then Small Lady can you take a chill pill too and just relax and let's forget training and have some downtime now?" proposed Ariel to which Chibiusa nodded politely.
"Glad we all can agree to have some fun. So let's go chill under that beautiful maple tree and enjoy these smoothies and cupcakes!" Emily suggested cheerfully.
So everyone went over to a nearby towering gorgeous maple tree and began to enjoy the smoothies and chocolate cupcakes. As they ate the kittens in human form sang a silly rhyme about their mother; who even though she was a cat being a talking cat apparently made her immune to the normal poison that chocolate was to cats, and apparently their mother really liked cupcakes.
"Mommy likes chocolate, Mommy wants a cupcake, and Mommy has a boyfriend!" they sang this in a silly fashion and they whispered to the girls their mother had a secret addiction to chocolate cupcakes that she tried to keep hidden from their father.
The part about a boyfriend was the fact that there was a cat a local bakery who snuck their mother cupcakes to feed her addiction that the kittens knew about that their father knew nothing about.
This left the rest of the girls even Christen in stitches of laughter at the idea of why sometimes Luna looked a bit on the heavy side. They did ask if the kittens knew if their father had a secret addiction to which the kitten replied yes their daddy had a secret their mother had no idea about.
Artemis's secret addiction was he was involved in online role playing games that still went on even in the 30th century and his online name was "The Moonlight Knight" and he played these online role playing games every Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays from midnight to 3:00 am when he knew Luna was really passed out.
So after the kittens spilled the beans of what they knew about their parents but their parents didn't know the girls did the same thing about their own parents which got tons of laughter.
After that the girls then brought up what they're really looking forward to the coming year once the school year started and they all start eighth grade. How it be so cool to be in junior high and be practically teenagers!
At the mere mention of the word teenagers they all couldn't help explode at what that word meant to them, and even the kittens while in human form could help add in what it meant for them too as they're approaching their own teenage years.
It meant staying up later, cooler outfits, wearing makeup, romances and dating boys or girls whatever they chose, didn't matter either way. It meant their bodies becoming sexier and more beautiful! They get more respect, taken seriously, treated like grownups not children! And of course they get more serious about become the Neo Sailor Senshi!
Then of course next summer was the big birthday bash when they all officially became teenagers to celebrate getting one step closer to being adults while finally getting to enjoy the best years of their lives! After all being stuck as children for 900 years was enough of a punishment!
Getting to be teenagers?! Dream come true and they're going to enjoy it like a never ending party! It was gonna be a perfect year and ending with a perfect party! What could possible bring them down on such a perfect day that would lead to a perfect year to a perfect life?
Of course Christen had to be the one to kill the mood. "Well, let's not think today good luck will last. It's Friday the 13th and it's a full moon tonight as well. The day of bad luck and a full moon when things go crazy the most? Not a good combo by any standers. I'll be willing to be bet between the witching hour and devil's hour something nasty will happen for sure tonight!"
"Christen can you please just try for one day to get out of the dark, gloomy world of a Goth and see something bright, light and happy?" snapped Ariel darkly at the dark minded girl who only shrugged.
"I'm for once not trying to be my mean spiteful self believe or not, Ariel, I'm just saying it is Friday the 13th and it does seem to bring bad luck and things do get crazy on the full moon. I'm just saying it's a bad combo. So if something bad gonna happen I'd say it's because of bad luck and lunar madness mixing in a bad stew is all."
Christen may have been truthful for once that she wasn't trying to be evil and mean sounding nevertheless she had made a dark prediction of doom for her and the Neo Senshi.
As soon as dusk had fallen over the Crystal Tokyo a group of older high school kids were half dragging a terrified younger redhead teenage girl towards the demonic cemetery prison and nothing good was going to come from this.
I'd like to take the time to make some things know.
This would be in line with Sailor Moon Crystal not the 90's dub.
Comet and Asteroid who are Diana's older brother and sister and Luna and Artemis's older daughter and only son are my and my twin sister OCs.
We made them up years ago because it took them forever to bring the original dub over to America so we didn't know about Diana till much later.
I kept them because it makes more sense of Luna to have a litter then one kitten and Diana would benefit from having siblings and it give her parents more of a headache.
The Neo Senshi are the property of my friend Japananimegirl who will be doing chapters on them later in the story as they are her characters so she'll be doing what will be basically a bio chapter to get to know them. I'll do slight editing of the chapters but all the Neo Senshi of hers. I've been given permission to use them but they are not mine. So she'll be doing their individual chapters later to get to know them.
Also Japananimegirl has chosen almost all the voice actors for the story so if they're real characters this is who would be voicing them. I'll let you know. But everyone I'm about to list was her choice. Even Comet and Asteroid as I was taped out after my last story which had a massive amount of pretend voice actors.
