Back at Hikawa shrine Serena, Mina and Lita were each lying on a plush comfy cushion and happily absorbed in the world of the mask. So were Amy and Raye but the latter was still in shock that the two leading members of the team had decimated an entire supermarket.

"What if you guys didn't have disguise gadgets huh?" The raven-haired girl continued to rant. "What if you weren't secret Senshis who fight for love and justice? And are you- EVEN LISTENING TO ME!" She now had a huge sweat drop as she yelled in the direction of their backs.

Mina momentarily looked up with an expression of great wisdom and knowledge. ("Oh god," Raye thought.)When the blonde spoke her tone was insanely calm.

"Ah but Raye chan the fact remains that we do have them and we are secret senshis who fight for love and justice and if you deny it again I swear to Aphrodite I will showcase my scars from that particularly nasty fight scene involving that rogue youma we had last Saturday."

"You don't have any scars." Raye frowned.

"Oh really?... Well if I go to the bathroom to…erm check on them then prepare to feast your eyes!"

With that she rushed off to the bathroom where everyone could hear the frantic zipping sound of a bag being opened and a "God dammit! Why did I have to leave my freaking eyeliner pencil at home? Just when I need it most! Oh well, DISGUISE SCRUNCHIE! MAKE ME A SUPER UGLY FESTERING WOUND!"

After quite some time Mina eventually swaggered in, her orange shirt rolled up to show a particularly gruesome looking slash across her stomach that everyone knew had definitely not been there before.

"See guys? This is the burden that comes with being a senshi of love! One must suffer at all costs! And I am the senshi of love and beauty so this is a particularly hard blow for me!" She whispered as dramatic tears began to fall from her glistening eyes.

"Yeah, you made that just now." Lita didn't look up from the TV screen.

"And you're missing the best part of the movie!" Serena wailed, but like her brunette friend, not budging from her position.

"So it's a good idea if you get rid of that scar." Ami remarked, observing the horrific injury like the true doctor she was soon to be. "Because if you don't you'll be stuck with it forever so do so now while the transformation's still removable."

"Agh! DETRANSFORM!" At once the scar was gone and Mina sagged down next to the others with a sigh of relief.

The next half hour was rather uneventful, except for Raye forcefully stopping Serena and Mina from reenacting the fast dance scene because even though the Moon senshi was a lot better at dancing than she was at fourteen, she was still not particularly light on her feet.

"You know guys, it's times like these when I wish I could be in the moment forever," Serena smiled softly as Stanley Ipkiss once again donned his green superhero mask. "You ever get that feeling?"

"Sure I do, like that time when we first met!" Lita replied. "You know it's funny, before I never really had any real friends because everyone was scared of 'the karate maniac' so in a way I'm really happy to be Sailor Jupiter because now I have so many wonderful friends!"

"I felt the same way Lita!" Ami looked up from the book she had been reading. "And Serena I feel like you've actually taught me something!"

"Omg I, as in MOI actually TAUGHT-YOU?" Everyone laughed at Serena's dramatic gasp.

"Yes," Ami giggled. "You taught me that it's good to take a break from studying and have fun! Well, once in a while anyway."

"And Serena needs to take a break from having fun and start studying!" Raye remarked which made Serena scowl and the others laugh.

"OMG IT'S CUBAN PETE TIME!" Mina suddenly gasped in a typical high-pitched fangirl tone. She grabbed the TV remote and turned it up full volume.

"YAY LET'S DANCE!" Serena jumped up eagerly, almost knocking the popcorn bowl into Raye's face and started dancing and singing a long with Mina to the catchy song.

They call me Cuban Pete.

I'm the king of a rumba beat.

When I shake my maracas I go chi-chicky boom chi-chicky boom.

"Come on girls!" They exclaimed in between dance moves. "Get up and dance!"

"I think they've had too much of the 'special' popcorn." Ami whispered to Raye and Lita.

However to their dismay, the sailor scouts of the Moon and Venus were clearly not going to take no for an answer.

"C'mon, EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!" In one huge tug Mina had both Lita and Ami up on their feet. On the other hand Serena was having trouble with Raye who was clinging to the table in front of her for dear life while her blonde friend desperately tried to pull her by the ankles.

"Aw Raye you're gonna miss iiiit!" The odango headed girl wailed.

"Yeah, come on Raye it's fun!" Lita had now got into the groove of the green-faced tornado on the screen.

Finally the princess of Mars relented when she saw that even Ami had managed to drop her book and joined in to the conga.

"CONGA, CONGA COONGAA! CONGA CONGA COONGAAA!" Mina and Serena yelled at the tops of their voices while leading the five-fractioned conga in the process, which was still going long after the song had ended.

At last as the credits came on the five girls fell into a heap on the floor, creating a sailor scout mountain.

"Ack, whose foot's in my face?" Lita gasped for air as she felt the object in question brush against her nose.

"Oops! I'm sorry!" Ami blushed while trying to wriggle free from the mountain snake-style.

"Hey chaarrrlieee! We're going to caaaandy mountaaiinnn!" Mina shouted, moving around clumsily and jolting everyone else in the process.

"Cut it out blondie!" Raye snapped.

"Caaandy mouuuntain! Caaaandy mouuuuntain!" Mina continued, completely obvlious to Raye's voice.

"Ok, you brought this on yourself…JUPITER CRYSTAK POWER!" A sudden flash of lightning threw them all over to the other side of the room as a cloud of emerald green smoke sprung out from where Lita was. When it disintergrated, there stood Sailor Jupiter in her green and pink sailor fuku, a single gem in the middle of a golden tiara.

"You could have just used your karate!" Serena moaned quietly, still shivering from the shock of the lightning.

"Oh my Zeus Serena I'm so sorry!" Lita instantly detransformed and ran to her side to grab her into a hug.

"Hey did ya forget about us?" Raye demanded indignantly.

"Shut your mouth Raye, she's gonna rule the Earth and the Moon in a few years!" Lita told her, still holding Serena.

"Ooh! That reminds me…" Mina quickly transformed and ran off.

"Um…ok!" Serena squeaked.

Only until the rest of the girls were getting ready for bed did Mina finally return.

"Where…" Ami began before Raye interrupted. "THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?"

"Oh, just business." Mina smiled shiftily.

"What kind of business?" Lita snorted.

The blonde's sky blue eyes gave a dangerous glint. "Just running an errand for Strawberry Moon…"

"Who?" Serena echoed.

"Erm never mind. Less talk, more PILLOW FIGHT!" She yelled, flinging a nearby pillow at Ami, who ducked so the identified flying object hit Lita instead.

"Right that does it! Jupiter pillow throw!" The brunette chose to throw hers somewhere in between Serena and Raye.

Soon the air in the room was thick with flying pillows as the fight became more intense.

Eventually some began to run out of energy while some fell to the ground in a deep sleep. And as for one senshi…

"I WIN!" Serena cried triumphantly, doing her victory dance. However, looking around the room she sweatdropped at the sight of four sleeping sailor scouts.

She suddenly decided to tuck each of them in, in case they got too cold.

"Aw you guys…" Her eyes began to water as she smiled sadly. "I'm sure gonna miss hanging with you," She whispered, settling down to sleep next to Raye.
