Much Ado About Fukus.

By: Tory L Brown (tory_brown@yahoo.com)

* * * *

Early the next morning, Moshi rose and dressed. She was finally free of her old pink fuku and couldn't wait until the others saw her in the new fuku. She ran downstairs, had breakfast, talking to Mamoru. Afterwards, he dropped her off at the school before going to work.

Moshi swear she felt a pair of eyes boring into the back of her head. It was still early and there weren't many students at the school yet. Nervously, she adjusted the bow on her new blue fuku and clipped on her henshin star. The new fuku she had was all dark blue. The only other colors in it were the white stripes on the edge of the shirt, sleeves and collar and the bright red bow in front. She waited by the entrance door for Ami, Usagi, and Makoto. The first to arrive was Makoto.

"Ohaiyo Mo-cha--whoa new fuku ne?!" Makoto asked, walking around Moshi to see the whole outfit.

"Hai! Kakkoi ne? It may not be just like the one's Ami and Usagi has but it's closer than that pink abomination I wore before!" Moshi said, smiling.

Makoto smiled back, but couldn't contain it any longer. Before Moshi knew it, Makoto was howling with laughter. "Bwahahahah!"

Moshi looked at Makoto with bewilderment. "Nani?!" she asked, wanting to know why was Makoto laughing.

"I'd hate to be the one to do this to you Moshi, but. um...that's a elementary school fuku!" She screamed 'fuku' loud and continued to laugh.

Moshi's cheeks stained a bright red. "ELEMENTARY! IIE!" She grabbed Makoto by her shirt and shook her. "Say it isn't so!"

"What isn't so...oh mygod," Ami said, pointing at Moshi, she heard Makoto laughing down the street.

Makoto looked at Ami, her green eyes flushed with tears. "Exactly!" She continued to laugh, while the blush stained Moshi's entire face.

Usagi ran up to them and stopped as soon as she spotted Moshi. With one long look, she collapsed into laughter. Moshi wanted to cry. She was wearing an elementary fuku, and a fuku most girls at the age of 8 wore!

"Ami-chan, why are they laughing so hard?" Moshi said, beginning to whine slightly.

"Well," Ami began, fighting the urge to laugh. "That's not any elementary fuku, it's Juuban's elementary fuku."

Moshi's face paled considerably. She felt like throwing herself off the roof.

The ringing of the class bell cut anything else that was about to be said. Fuming, Moshi walked into Juuban with a laughing Usagi and Makoto following. Makoto patted her on her head, laughing even more as she went into 2-6. Ami went across to 2-5 and Moshi and Usagi headed to 2-1.

"Usagi-chan, you say anything and I will kill you," Moshi threatened when she saw Usagi open her mouth.

Passing other students in the hallway, all eyes were on the girl in the elementary school fuku. Taunts laced the air, such like, "Where's your backpack little one!" "Aww Usagi-chan brought her little sister to school today"

When she passed Umino and Naru, she grabbed Umino by his shirt and pulled him close. "You say anything Umino-kun, and you're eating that bookbag. You understand?"

Umino gulped as a big sweat broke out on his forehead. "Ha-ai" he said, cringing away from Moshi.

A girl with golden hair and eyes passed by Moshi, her gaze swept up and over Moshi as she walked by. Moshi received a shiver down her spine as the girl smirked and continued by. Moshi didn't like the feeling she received at all. "Usagi-chan, did you feel that?" Moshi asked, keeping her eyes on the girl till she rounded the corner.

Usagi was watching the girl also. "Hai, I don't know who she is, but I suggest keeping an eye on her."

Moshi glanced down at her watch. "Gah, we're going to be late again. We gotta change out our shoes!" She grabbed Usagi's wrist, dragging her over to the lockers. Usagi and Moshi quickly changed into their soft soled, white school shoes. Skidding down the hall, they quickly dashed into the door of 2-1. Haruna-sensei was waiting, as usual.

"Oh Kami-sama, what am I going to do with the two of you!" Haruna-sensei raged, her nostrils flaring with anger.

"Gomen, gomen, gomen!" they said in unison, their cheeks blazing with blush. Sensei cracked her ruler on the desk, causing Moshi and Usagi to scamper away in fear.

Once seated Usagi turned to Moshi and whispered, "What crawled up under her skirt today?!"

Before Moshi would answer, Haruna-sensei was at Usagi's desk in a flash. "I'll tell you what crawled, it's this math score, Your math score, Usagi-chan! This score has crawled even lower than the last!" Moshi blinked, Usagi was in for it this time!

Usagi's face crinkled in fear, if she brought home another bad one, her mom was going to obliterate her! "It can't be, I studied!"

She slapped the paper down on the table, causing Usagi's books to fall to the floor in a clatter. "Look, does the red pen lie?!"

Moshi and Usagi looked at the paper, a glaring 25 stomped over her name. Moshi covered her ears and put her head on the desk, she slowly waited for the wailing to start.

Usagi's blue eyes filled with tears, "It can't be, I studied, honestly Haruna-sensei. My mom is going to KILL ME!" she exclaimed.

* * * *

After school, Usagi grabbed Moshi as she was walking out of the classroom. "Mo-chan, I need your help!" she whispered harshly, herding Moshi to the lockers.

Used to being dragged now, Moshi only replied, "Now what?"

"Well," Usagi said as she placed her shoe on her left foot. "I was wondering, you know that neat little ring you got?"

A dark eyebrow raised. "What do you mean?" Moshi stopped tying her lace and folded her arms, her eyes flashing intently.

Usagi winked. "Just be me to give this paper to my mom, will ya?"

Moshi's eyes flew wide open. "You've got to be kidding me!"

"Kidding you how?" Makoto asked, she already had her shoes on, ready to walk home.

Moshi turned, smiling at her friend for a moment. "Mako-chan! You won't believe what idiotic thing she wants me to do!"

Makoto grinned. "What is it now?"

"She wants me to imitate her, to give her mom the bad test!" Moshi frowned, she didn't like using her ring for stupid things.

Makoto laughed, placing one hand on her forehead. "That's one of the most craziest things ever."

Moshi snorted. "I'll say."

Usagi filled her eyes with fake tears and got on her knees. She tugged at Moshi's skirt. "Onegai, Mo-chan. Only this once, I beg of you!" she said, forcing tears down her cheeks.

Ami walked by, noticing the spectacle Usagi was creating. "What's wrong now?" she asked as she walked over.

Makoto filled Ami in on what was taking place. "She wants her to imitate her?" Ami asked.

"Yeah, so that her mom won't kill her...she'll kill me!" Moshi interjected.

"Oh this I've got to see!" Ami said, nudging Makoto in her side.

"I want to see it too!" Makoto said, pulling Usagi up from the ground.

Moshi fussed at Usagi all the way to her house. "The nerve of some people, using my power of metamorphosis like this," she grumbled and kicked at cans. She scuffed her sneakers on the ground, cursing under her breath.

"OK, Mo-chan, we're alone do your thing!" Usagi said, watching Moshi closely, she liked watching her transform into other people.

Moshi shoved her bookbag at Makoto. She threw her hand into the air and called, "Ring of metamorphosis, turn me into Tsukino Usagi!" The tan stone glittered as small infinity signs, emerged, and surrounded her. She grew an inch in height as her hair turned into two blond odangos with long ponytails. Her blue fuku turned into a Juuban fuku as her purple sneakers turned into a pair of black flats.

"Let's go," Moshi-as-Usagi said, clearing her throat.

* * * *

After the incident and Moshi escaped safely, the girls met at their favorite place, Fruit Parlor Crown. Moshi scarfed two banana splits as Usagi watched on. They sat around talking, seems that Usagi was enjoying reliving the fantastic escape Moshi put into place.

"..then she cried, imitating me. 'I promise to do better Okaa-san!'" she paused, laughing.

Minako's eyes grew large. "You actually imitated Usagi-chan so that she wouldn't get murdered?!"

Moshi grumbled and settled deeper in her seat, wincing slightly. Ikuko landed a good swat on Moshi's behind before she exited the house.

"Yeah, now can we talk about something else please!"

Rei smirked and jabbed Moshi in the side. "Aha," was all she said.

This caused Moshi to stick her tongue out at Rei. Minako and Rei teased Moshi until that same girl from earlier entered the shop. "Mo-chan, it's her!" Usagi whispered, nudging Moshi in her side.

Moshi looked up from her split. "It is!"

Rei shuddered as a weird feeling skittered down her spine, leaving her cold. "Minna, I don't like this feeling. Get ready." She pulled her henshin pen out her pocket, ready to transform.

"Hai," Makoto said, putting her hand in her pocket, Shi also gripped her henshin pen tighter, for she was getting an odd sensation herself.

"I'm glad Chibiusa and Miko aren't here. I wouldn't want them to get hurt," Minako said, her hand inching closer to her henshin pen in her pocket.

Ami nodded, her own hand was resting safely on her henshin pen. "It's good that they're not. I'm glad Mamoru-san took them to the park."

The girl was wearing a Juuban fuku. She had her golden hair pulled back in a severe ponytail that almost brushed the floor as she moved. Her golden eyes glittered as she took her ice cream cone and sat directly across from the Senshi.

"If you're going to stare, at least take a picture. It's more polite that way," the girl said, her words heavily doctored with sarcasm. Turning her attention back to her ice cream cone, she hurriedly gobbled it in a few well-placed bites.

Moshi was trying to hurry and finish her banana split, when she spotted the blonde girl walking over. She casually looked up from her split. "Can I do something for you?" Her words were the same exact biting sarcasm the girl uttered earlier.

The girl leaned over and whispered in Moshi's ear, "It's your fault Shizar's dead...and I'm gonna make you pay."

Moshi's eyes flew open in fear. Shi leaned forward and shoved the girl away from Moshi as she gripped her henshin pen. They couldn't transform in the shop, too many people were watching.

"Anata!" Moshi said as she jumped to her feet, her henshin star and bracelet glittered in the shoppe's light.

The girl cackled as she curtsied. "Maeve at your service!" She flickered her arm across her body as her golden armor slowly replaced her school girl fuku and encased her body. In her hand, she held a tall golden staff that was decorated with a large globe on the end. Maeve twisted the staff in her hand as she hurled her golden staff at Moshi. Shi grabbed Moshi and ducked out the way; bits and pieces of wood flew as Maeve attacked the table.

"I have to henshin!" Moshi thought. She waited until Maeve attacked and screamed. She exited the parlor, looking for a place to henshin.

She glanced around to see if anyone was watching. She removed her star and threw it into the air. "Earth Star Power, make up!" The star twirled over head as ribbons of purple and yellow energy cascaded onto Moshi turning her into Sailorearth.

Usagi and the others appeared later. "Minna, henshin!" Earth cried.

"Hai!" they Senshi said in unison.

* * * *

"Sailormercury, do you see anything usual?" Sailorvenus asked as she got closer to Sailor Earth, Sailor Jupiter noticing what Venus did, mimicked the same gesture.

Mercury shook her head as she glanced around. "Nothing, it's like... she vanished!"

"We gotta get away from here, innocent people could be hurt," Sailorearth said as she thought about Mamoru and the two smaller Senshi.

"I don't think so!" a voice said a split second before a large ball of golden energy slammed into the ground, scattering the Senshi like confetti. Sailorearth winced as she sat up, she noticed Paradise struggling to stand up.

"She's strong!" Sailor Mars said. "Burning Mandala!" Circles of fire appeared and surrounded Sailor Mars and gathered in her hands. The circles shot out towards Maeve, who only brushed them off.

Jupiter's thunder rod appeared as lightning flowed into it. "Sparkling Wide Pressure!" She clapped her hands together creating a disc of lightning, like a baseball player she hurled it with all her might at the golden armored Maeve.

She swerved to the side and charged Sailorjupiter. Sailorearth threw her body onto Jupiter, throwing them both to the side. "Wait Jupiter, concentrate!" Sailorearth pleaded, as she closed her eyes and placed her hands in a praying gesture. "Say the first words that enter your mind!"

While Mars and Venus fought Maeve, Jupiter closed her eyes and concentrated. Words formed in her mind. She could feel not only the power of Jupiter, but that of Earth flowing in her veins. Sailorearth stood next to her, a rod similar to Jupiter's appeared in Earth's tiara, except it had two and it branched up in a V.

The energy of Sailorearth coursed between the rods in a pulsing wave. They both pointed a hand into the air and yelled, "Lightning Rod!" Together, they formed a large rod of lightning and projected it towards Maeve. She didn't see it coming until too late. It smashed into her armor, throwing her into a building.

"Sugoi!" Sailormoon yelled. "How did you do that?"

Sailorjupiter shrugged and said, "I dunno it was odd, I felt the power of Earth and Jupiter flowing into me. I said the first words that came to mind and it was 'Lightning Rod'"

"Hey Mercury, it's your turn!" Earth called. "Just concentrate, like I said before." Earth closed her eyes, focusing her power.

Sailormercury closed her eyes, oddly she had a picture of people dancing, under water, forming in her mind. Two words struggled to emerge from her mouth.

Earth fought the urge to laugh. She couldn't believe that Mercury would think of something like this. "Just say it," Earth said with a smirk.

Together, standing side by side, Earth and Mercury screamed out, "Aqua Boogie!" A swirl of water and electricity flowed from the ground, surrounding them both. They both looked as if they stopped to do the hustle!

"What the hell?!" Jupiter asked, looking at the two dancing.

Sailormoon groaned, "Please tell me they're not doing the hustle!"

Neither answered, sending the shiruken of water and electricity to Maeve. The water doused her as the electricity shocked her, knocking her on her butt.

"Me next!" Mars said as she spotted Maeve struggling to stand up. "How does that go?"

"Close your eyes and concentrate, say the first words that comes to mind!" Earth said as she started to concentrate.

Sailormars closed her eyes and concentrated, no words formed until a certain phrase stood out bold as neon, begging to be said. Earth stood next to her, with the phrase on her lips.

Mars nodded at her as they both called out. "Blaze Lightning!!" A large fire bolt appeared and zigzagged towards Maeve who screamed as it lit a path for her. The explosion was red orange and loud, it sent the Senshi sprawling

Her golden necklace glittered in the afternoon sunlight as she appeared from the explosion, minus a few pieces of her armor she continued to fight. Maeve had the attack power of a rottweiler, she refused to give up no matter how the Senshi slammed their attacks into her, it seemed like nothing was working.

She had knocked out Sailor Mercury and Jupiter and was closing in on Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars grabbed Moon and threw her to the side as she took the brunt of the attack. The only Senshi now standing was Earth, Venus, Moon, and Paradise.

Sailor Paradise hit Maeve with her Misery attack. Maeve snorted as she shot a golden bolt at Paradise. Now there were three. Venus nodded to Earth, hinting she wanted to combine their powers to knock her senseless.

She closed her eyes, focusing on the power of Venus, she suddenly felt the power of Earth as they stood together. "Tumbling Heart Pulsation!" They created a large heart and rolled it at Maeve, the large heart slammed into her shocking her. In a sudden move, she hit Venus with a Golden spike, now there were two.

Sailormoon tried her spiral heart attack, but to no avail. Maeve grabbed her and flung her against the building. Now there was one. Maeve backed Earth into a corner, striking at her legs and feet with her staff. Before Earth knew it, Maeve had backed her into a corner of a building.

"Where are the outer Senshi?" Earth thought, backing against the building. She raised her arm out to the side of her and began to yell, "Cyber Ear.." She couldn't finish, for Maeve grabbed her wrist and started to pull her up. Her feet dangled above the ground as she thrashed around in Maeve's grip.

"Let me go!" Earth yelled as she tried to pry her wrist from her hand.

Rage filled Maeve's eyes. "And miss this chance to ice you, no way toots." She wrapped a hand around Earth's throat and pressed her against the building. The breath whooshed out her body as she fought to breathe. She continued to squirm and thrash. She kicked at Maeve's knees, but to no avail, the grip was becoming tighter and tighter.

"World...shaking!" A large yellow ball of energy crashed into Maeve's side. With a scream, Maeve released the semi-conscious Earth.

"Dare?!" she yelled, looking for who threw that energy.

Three figures appeared from over the building; three women dressed as Sailor Senshi. "When ever there is trouble, I am here to clean up the mess. I am Sailoruranus!"

"I am here to deliver victory to the people, for I am Sailorneptune!"

"Preserving peace and tranquillity for all time, I am Sailorpluto."

As they all stood together, the sun shining from their backs. They said together, "We three outer Senshi are brought here by a new crisis!"

While Maeve gawked at the new Senshi in disbelief, Sailorearth quietly scampered away from the building heading for the new Senshi.

Sailorneptune helped Earth stand to her feet. "Daijoubu?" she asked, her sea green eyebrows crinkling in worry."

"Daijoubu!" Earth answered as she brushed the dirt from her skirt. She held her arm out the side as she called. "Cyber Earth Make up!" Purple energy appeared and surrounded her, bit by bit her fuku turned into metal. The only feature noticeable were her eyes that peered from behind the lenses of her mask.

Maeve stood up, using her staff as leverage. "So you squirt, this is how you defeated Shizar? Using some kind of costume made of metal!?" She released another attack.

The garnet ball on Pluto's staff started to glow. "Dead Scream," she whispered, creating a large ball of lavender energy. The ball flew from the edge of the staff and slammed into Maeve, knocking her flat.

While the Outers battled with Maeve, the rest of the Senshi were slowly coming to. Sailor Moon was the first, she saw that Earth had already went cyber, to help make the battle more fair she pulled the Holy Grail out of her Senshi subspace pocket. "Crisis Make up!"

Slowly but surely, all the Senshi finally regained consciousness. It was a good thing too, for the Outers were starting to get tired. Sailorcyberearth rushed over into the fray.

"Cyber Laser Blast!" A beam of purple energy slammed into Maeve's legs, knocking her to her knees.

"Does she ever get hurt!" Sailoruranus cried as she charged her with her Space Sword.

Neptune smiled, pulling her deep aqua mirror out. "Maybe this is what we need! Submarine Reflection!"

Dust blew over Maeve as her necklace brightened in it's wake. Neptune nodded to Uranus who nodded in return. Sailor Pluto walked up to the pair. "Do you think we can even get close enough to get the necklace?" Her green eyebrows knotted in thought.

"All I can say is we have to do our best!" Uranus said.

"Minna, I know what we can do!" Sailor Venus said, drawing everyone's attention. "We can try Silver Crystal Power!"

Supersailormoon shook her head. "There's no way, we need everyone here to perform it, or it will kill me." Gripping her Spiral Heart Moon Rod, she stepped to the front of the pack. Twirling it around herself, she powered up for her attack. "Rainbow Moon Heart Ache!" Spirals of hearts emerged from the top of the rod as they sped towards their intended target. The spirals wrapped themselves around Maeve, binding her tightly, she struggled and screamed as the shock coursed through her. Grunting she used every ounce of her power to deflect the spirals. In a shower of broken spirals, Moon was thrown off her feet where she landed near the feet of the stunned Senshi.

"Princess!" Pluto said as she rushed to help her up.

"That's it, Minna attack at ONCE!" Sailor Venus yelled. Each Senshi prepared to do their attack. "Supersailormoon, use your tiara, Minna surround the tiara with your attacks!"

"Moon Tiara Action!" Supersailormoon yelled as she heaved her tiara to Maeve. The calls of various attacks filled the air as each Senshi surrounded the tiara with their power. The tiara took the shape of a large ball as it encountered Maeve's stomach.

The blast was so great that it sent everyone flying. One would have believed this attack would have been the end of Maeve, but it only enraged her adding fuel to her wildfire.

"Is that the best you can do?!" she roared as she slammed her staff into the ground. "Golden Shock Wave!" Bright golden light emerged from the end of her staff and caused a rippled effect on the ground. The ground heaved and wobbled, sending waves of the energy towards the Senshi. The ripples jarred them off their feet again, as she released attack on top of attack on the Senshi.

Earth stood shakily. "Maeve, please calm down! I don't want to destroy you!"

Maeve's answer was a bolt of golden energy that Earth had to duck.

Earth stood back up and pointed one finger at Maeve. "I will destroy you!" she cried. "Cyber Laser Destroy!" Three pinpoints of light emerged from her finger and struck Maeve in the chest. At that same time, Maeve released an attack at Earth.

Suddenly a loud thundering fell on their ears. A large tunnel appeared and a dark figure emerged. When the tunnel vanished, they got a chance to see who the person was.

The woman was tall with long black hair and dressed in the armor of a knight. On her side was a long gleaming sword, and on her wrists were bracers that glowed also. Her violet eyes surveyed the area, glittering. Her long ponytail fluttered in the breeze as she walked toward Earth.

She knelt down, picking Earth up gently. Earth opened her eyes slowly. "Dare?" she asked, focusing on the woman's face. She shook her head to clear the cobwebs.

A smile crossed her serene face. "Anata wa," she answered.

Her eyes widened. "ME? Nani Kore!?" she yelled, removing herself from the woman's arms.

Paradise recognized the woman immediately. "MAMA!" she yelled, throwing herself into the woman's arms.

The woman's eyes filled with tears as she said her daughter's name. "Chibimo... "

Mars gawked. "That's Mo-chan in the future!?"

Mercury nodded. "I guess so! I mean she looks like her, but she's so tall!"

Jupiter added, "Well Mamoru-san is tall, so I guess she's taking after her brother."

"Yeah, but that looks freaky, I mean look how little she is now, and then look at her future self. She's going to have one heck of a growth spurt!" Sailor Venus stated, looking at Present-Moshi and Future-Moshi.

"Utopian Knight," Earth whispered, looking at the woman hugging Shi. The woman looked up and nodded. "Hai, Atashi wa Utopian Knight," she answered.

Maeve struggled to her feet. "I don't care! You have to die! It's your fault he's dead!"

Earth cried, "It's not my fault! I didn't kill Shizar!"

A male voice reached Maeve's ears. "Maeve, she's right."

Her throat knotted up as she turned to find the face that went with that voice. It couldn't be, Shizar was dead, but there he was, in plain human clothes with a small smile on his face.

"Maeve," he said, holding his arms out. With tears streaming down her face she ran into his arms, holding as if she would never let go.

"How did you survive?!" she asked, looking up into his face.

"Imitar only took my powers, I thought I was dying until I woke up back in his chambers. Please Maeve, give this up. Come be with me forever," he pleaded, his golden eyes begging.

She sighed. "How can I? Imitar will find me."

"Ask for her help." He pointed to Utopia, who nodded slightly.

Maeve turned to Utopia. "Utopian Knight, I ask of you. Please rid me of these evil powers."

"Kneel, and I shall do what I can," the Knight responded, removing her sword from it's scabbard. The steel of the sword glowed with a light of its own. "With this mighty blade built of life. The lightblade, Dawnbringer. I ask of it remove the evil in this woman's heart, so she can be free!"

She stuck the blade into the ground, the infinity symbols on the hilt flashed in the sunlight. She put her hands around the handle and the bracers on her wrists started to glow with a golden light. A beam of light appeared from the bracers and connected to the handle of the sword, creating a triangle. When the triangle was formed, a light shot out from the middle of it and hit Maeve.

Maeve felt her flesh crawl as the light bathed her in its rays. "The light!" she said as her armor fell to the ground in a heap. She could feel her powers drain as her necklace released itself and fell to the ground.

Once the light cleared, Maeve stood before them all, dressed in a gold blouse and slacks. She opened her eyes for the first time as a human.

Shizar smiled. "Maeve, my love. Come to me."

"Shizar!" she cried and ran into his arms. They both turned to Utopia.

"Domo Arigato, Utopian knight, Arigato," they both said and turned, leaving their past lives at Knights behind them and going on to begin their new human lives together.

"Isn't love grand!" Sailorcyberearth said.

Sailorvenus nodded, her eyes turning into hearts. "I cannot wait until I fall in love!"

They both sighed loudly, clasping their hands to their chests. A commotion from the side brought their attention back to Sailorutopia.

Sailorneoearth rushed over. "Mama! MAMA MAMA MAMA!" She screamed repeatedly as tears welled in her green eyes as she attached herself to Utopia.

"Miko!" Utopia sniffed as she knelt to hug her youngest daughter.

"We did good didn't we!" Neoearth said. "You're alive again!"

She merely nodded, lifting the smaller Earth in her arms. She put an arm around Paradise's shoulders and for once, the Senshi got a chance to see the family all together again.

Sailorearth knew that this time Miko and Shi were leaving her for good, that is until she's older.

"Chibimo, Miko," she said, her violet eyes brimming with tears now.

"Okaa-san," Paradise said as she embraced Earth. Neoearth pushed her way between the two, creating a group hug.

"I'll miss you both!" Earth said as the tears began to stream down her cheeks.

"It was nice to meet you at this age, now I know how my mom was at my age!" Paradise said, her violet eyes twinkling.

"I want to stay, but I want to go!" Neoearth whined, gripping Earth's hand.

Earth looked into Neoarth's green eyes. "Iie, go home to your right time, back to your life." Paradise and Neoearth transformed back to their school fukus.

Shi walked over to Sailor Mars and hugged her. "Ja ne, Rei-san. I shall miss you."

Mars blushed, a rare one if ever seen. "Ja ne Shi-chan.

Miko walked over to Venus and clasped her waist. "Ja ne Minako-san, I'll miss you too!"

Venus's eyes shimmered as she whispered. "Ja ne Miko-chan, here." She removed her red bow and her blond hair fell around her shoulders. She gave the bow to a smiling Miko. Who took the bow and quickly tied it around one odango.

"Arigato Minako-san!" Miko said as she ran back to her mother. Together they opened the portal back to Crystal Tokyo and stepped in. On the other side, Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus were waiting for them to step through.

They turned and wave as the portal slowly closed.

"Ja ne Shi, Miko!" Earth cried as she waved to the group. As they all waved, the portal closed and vanished.

"Daijoubu?" Supersailormoon asked as she put a hand on Sailor Earth's shoulder.

"Daijoubu," she answered and turned to face the Senshi, a knowing smile slid across her face as she spoke. "You know, after some deep thinking on my part, I realize that if it wasn't for Pluto in the future, I would never had a chance to meet my children, or live to see the future for that matter." She looked back to where the portal vanished. " Chibiusa-chan often told me of how Pluto guarded that door alone. I swear now. If she's ever alone in the future, I will be there for her. No one deserves to be alone. That I promise."

* * * *

Sailorstarpluto sat down with a sigh, another day of guarding the time portal. It was so desolate way out here, the only person that visited her was Small Lady and that was once a week. A soft rap at the door diverted her attention from her thoughts. "Dare?!" she called out.

"Moshi, Chibimo and Miko!" a voice came through the door. She walked over and opened the door and there with smiles on their faces was Moshi and her two daughters: Chibimo and Miko.

"What brings you here?" she asked in disbelief none of the other Senshi ever visited her.

"I came to visit, the girls wanted to visit you also." In her hands, she held a thermos. "I brought green tea and cups. I know how you like green tea." She smiled as she entered the room with Chibimo and Miko in tow

Sailorstarpluto's eyes filled with tears. "Arigato, Moshi, Arigato."
