Sailor Moon Messup

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)

It had been ten years since Sere began her training with the Outers and now…she was heading back to the Moon Kingdom. Back to the Silver Alliance, back to being under a disguise all the time.

"Nee-san?" Hotaru asked sitting down beside her elder sister without making a sound. It had surprised Setsuna that her wife had been all for adopting the orphaned Princess of Saturn. Setsuna had blushed bright red at the look her wife had given her when the silver haired queen said that she didn't mind having more children.

"It's almost time Hotaru-chan." Sere said a bit upset that she would have to leave her little sister behind.

"We'll still see each other Sere. Just not as often." Michiru said as she and Haruka walked over as well, each of them coming to sit beside their sister in arms.

"Doesn't mean you can slack off on training though. You're close to having that breakthrough with your shield aren't you?" Haruka asked with a grin, slapping Sere on the back playfully and without much force behind it.

"Yeah I nearly got it where the two mix perfectly and stay that way for more than a minute. It's still hard to use my time powers but it's getting a bit easier after all the training me and papa have done with them." Sere said nodding with a small grin on her face. She had been working on mixing her Sands of Time with her Matter of Space into a shield. Summoning up her Space Shield wasn't that hard, in fact she could do it without even consciously thinking about it.

It was the Sands of Time that were giving her a problem.

"Um actually I think I might have an idea about why it's so hard for you to use your Time powers." Hotaru said smiling sheepishly as they instantly turned to look at her.

"Really?" Sere asked wide eyed and making Hotaru nod slightly.

"Well think about it like this…each of us were born with only one senshi as their parent…and our mothers lost most of their powers when they were born right? Specifically the powers that we show great aptitude in." Hotaru said making them think about it and nod slowly in agreement. They did know that their mothers lost most of their powers after they gave birth but what did that have to do with anything?

"Well…Sere-nee has two magical powerhouse parents, Queen Serenity and Sailor Pluto. Queen Serenity is the one who carried and birthed her however which is why Sailor Pluto hasn't lost any of her powers at all, because she wasn't the one to give birth." Hotaru continued making Sere nod along, okay she was keeping up with her younger sister this much.

"Usually there's only one Senshi per planet, however right now there are two Sailor Pluto's. According to papa, she had always been a natural with the Time aspect and had managed to teach herself the Space aspect of her powers after a few years since there was no one to help her." Hotaru said making Sere nod her head, okay she was still keeping up with her little sister but she was confused as well. What did this have to do with her time powers being so hard for her to use?

"Well Papa's strongest powers are over Time not Space, however Sere-nee is the opposite with her strongest powers being over Space instead of Time. I think the reason she has so much trouble with her Time powers is because papa didn't lose her powers when Sere-nee was born. There's never been a case where a child was born to two women as powerful as Sere-nee's parents but I think that since papa didn't lose her powers that makes it harder for Sere-nee to tap into papas strongest aspect, in other words Time, since there is already a fully trained and still functional Sailor of Time." Hotaru said making the three older girls stare at her in utter silence for at least a full minute.

Actually it was a minute and twenty three point four seconds, but Sere and Setsuna were the only ones who would know that.

"Remind me to make you the brains behind everything when I end up as queen little sis or head researcher or advisor or something! Why did we never realize that?" Sere was the one to burst out with that as her palm met her forehead. Oh goddess did she feel stupid now, judging by the looks on Michiru and Haruka's faces they shared the thought.

"Because Haruka's a blond, and you and Michiru spend too much time around blonds." Hotaru said without skipping a beat, earning a loud protest from the Senshi of the Wind who tackled the smallest of the four.

"Looks like we'll have one last sparring session." Michiru said with a slight smile as Hotaru and Haruka wrestled a bit on the ground, Hotaru being the weaker one physically but she was definitely crafty and flexible whereas Haruka was bigger and stronger and faster.

"Free for all!" Sere said tackling Michiru and beginning to wrestle with the aqua haired woman who quickly shed her elegant composure as she swore violently.

None of the girls noticed Setsuna and Michelle laughing from where they had watched the entire thing, both of them sweat dropping a bit.

Seriously even they never realized why Sere was having such problems with her time abilities.

Setsuna would definitely have to talk to her wife about making Hotaru the official advisor to Sere like Luna and Artemis were to Serenity.

Hotaru would probably be much better than the two Mau who were better as spies than advisors most of the time.
