"The ultimate popcorn master 5000," Serena read. She turned the box to one side to read the small print. "Warning, extreme consumption of the popcorn produced may result in increased blood pressure, diabetes, seizures and sugar rushes."

"So we're buying it then?" Mina grinned.

"Serena's eyes sparkled mischievously. "Yep! You bet!"

They were in the OK shopper selecting their favourite foods for the sleepover. Lita and Ami had gone off to the cake section and Raye had decided to stock up on her small movie selection.

However, after setting off in these directions, the three girls had instantly regretted leaving Serena and Mina alone together. And let's just say they were right to worry.

"So I think that's everything!" The Moon Princess announced, staring down at the various ice creams, chocolates, sweets and puddings she and her deputy had gathered together.

Suddenly Mina's sky blue orbs glinted dangerously. "Ahahaha! Mais non mon petit lapin! I sink you vill find zat zeese leetle veggies will, how you say, come in verry useful when we play truth or dare!"

At this she picked up a pile of carrots and waved them in front of Serena, which left the girl in question with an expression of great terror and confusion as to where in the name of Aphrodite her friend's fake French accent had come from.

Then her face started to crumple.

"WAAAH! YOU MEANIE YOU KNOW I HATE CARROTS!" She yelled with such a high volume that everyone in the store looked up.

Elsewhere in the local DVD store and a street away from the supermarket Raye suddenly stiffened.

"My Serena sense is tingling." She sighed.

However back at the OK shopper both Serena and Mina did not seem to realise the scene they were causing.

"YOU CAN'T MAKE ME EAT THEMMM!" Serena began to run away, desperately trying to impersonate greased lightning.

"Aha! You will not escape the carrot meister zat easily!" At this the Princess of Venus grabbed a huge water pistol off one of the shelves, pulled it out of its box and started loading it with carrots.

After running into the tinned food aisle Serena bent down to catch her breath. When she looked up her deep sapphire gems widened to see Mina advancing on her, wielding the…erm, carrot pistol and using their trolley as a scooter. She was also cackling like a madwoman.

"VENUS CARROT SHOWER!" She yelled at the top of her voice as she fired her first deadly weapon.

The carrot shot through the air in a straight line like an oversized orange bullet and impaled one of Serena's long pigtails against the shelf.

At this, the Moon princess searched around the area with her deep sapphire gems, desperately trying to find a weapon of her own. Suddenly her hand came into contact with a tin of mushrooms.

Flipping the lid open with a sly smile Serena dug her hand into the tin and scooped out a handful of sticky brown contents.

"Aha, but the Moon mushroom warrior has a secret weapon! MOON MUSHROOM MAGIC!" She hollered, pelting the handful at her friend.

"Direct hit!" She cheered as the mushrooms hit Mina right on her trademark red bow, staining it brown in the process.

"AIEEE!" She screamed, flapping her arms up and down so wildly it was a wonder she didn't let go of the pistol. And it was a good thing she didn't because she would need it for battle.

Only an hour and a quarter later the entire supermarket looked like the Moon kingdom would have looked destroyed if it had been Venus to betray it instead of the Dark Kingdom. Many people had fled for the sake of their lives but the majority had stayed to watch the show and a few were busy placing bets on who would win. You could even hear the odd cry of, "GET IN THERE MEATBALL HAIR!" Or. "LOOK OUT BLONDIE, SHE'S GOT A KNIFE- No wait, just a cucumber- BUT STILL A DEADLY WEAPON!"

"Give in V?" Serena asked, gangster-style as she held a custard pie in each hand, ready to throw.

"Never!" Mina grinned and continued to load her pistol with random items of food.

"Wanna do this the traditional way?" Serena suggested.

"You're on!"

They then turned their backs to each other and began to walk eleven steps away.

"1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-"

"GET THE HELL OUTTA MY STORE AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"

The loud voice from the megaphone outside the building made them both lose their balance and slip on the whipped cream on the floor.

"Oh no we're gonna get arrested!" Mina began to panic. "Oh why oh why did Natsuna onee san have to be in Hawaii right now? She could have let me off the hook!"

"Nooooo! I'm too young to get arrestedddd!" Serena wailed. "I have my whooole liiife ahead of meee! I still haven't become queen of the earth, hanglided over the West Indies or eaten Italian ice cream yettt!"

"You haven't eaten Italian ice cream?" Mina asked.

"Nope!" Serena sniffled.

Mina's face widened into a broad grin. "Oh you haven't lived."

Suddenly before they could face the cops and the store owner who were about to burst in any minute, six hands shot out from behind them and grabbed hold of the girls, pulling them out through the back door in the process.

"What the hell were you guys thinking?" Raye exploded once the five were in a dark alleyway and safely away from the crowd.

"We-er- we…" Serena's face was beginning to crumple again when Mina cut her off.

"I was thinking, ARRRGGHHHH! THERE'S A MUSHROOM IN MY HAIIIRRRR!"

"But you destroyed an entire supermarket!" Lita exclaimed, still freaking out because she had only learnt to expect anything remotely possible from her blonde friends.

"If you think about it we've actually been able to destroy a whole lot more than a store." Mina pointed out. "Like that time we took out the Negaverse."

End of flashback

There was a deafening silence for 5 minutes.

"Ok good point taken." The brunette shook her head with a sigh.

"But girls if someone has recognised you, you both might get banned from the store!" Amy said anxiously as the group proceeded down the pavement with their heavy shopping bags.

"Oh well, if so then we're just lucky we're the ones who got disguise gadgets!" Serena shrugged. The princesses of the Moon and Venus put their arms around each other's shoulders as they walked towards the sunset, slightly ahead of the others.

"Ah, it's good to have Moon cats!"
