月：welcome

[Chibiusa Tsukino]

A small girl walked up to the door of the Tsukino residence. She grew impatient from knocking, and nobody seemed to be answering. She was pretty sure that one person was home, being lazy and sleeping in as always. Chibiusa looked around and ran to the backdoor, finding the extra key and walked inside the house. She dropped her bag at the end of the stairs and walked up, peeking inside a dark room and snuck inside.

There she was, the savior of the world, sleeping away the day, snorning and drooling on her pillow. Chibiusa grabbed a glass of water from the bathroom before running back in. She pushed a chair up to Usagis bed and stood above her, holding the water.
"3....2......1 WAKE UP LAZY!" She yelled and laughed, dumping the water on Usagis head before flipping of the chair and running to the door. She stood there and laughed as Usagi jumped out of bed. "I'm gone for 2 years, and you still are the same person. LAZY!" She laughed and stood there.

[Usagi Tsukino]

Sweet dreams were to be had by Usagi. She could see the horizon of Tokyo, it's beautiful lights reflecting from the water as she and Mamoru were both married. She -- wearing a lovely, luxurious white dress, her blonde hair in a very elaborate updo. Mamoru stood next to her, a gentle smile on his handsome face, looking down at his new bride.

This was the future King and Queen of Crystal Tokyo. King Endymion and his beautiful, radiant consort -- Neo-Queen Serenity.

It was unreal.

As Usagi and Mamoru walked about, greeting smiling face after smiling face, each of these faces wishing them well, the heel on Usagi's shoe broke, throwing her into the water. But it wasn't just that part of the dream that woke her up. She really did feel kinda wet and cold.

"COLD!" Usagi sat up from her bed, breathing hard and looking harshly around the room.

And look who it was that greeted her. The pink spore. The little brat. The always obnoxious...

"CHIBIUSA!!"

[Chibiusa Tsukino]

Chibiusa laughed as Usagi jumped out of bed, water dripping from her soaked face. She loved to torture Usagi, it always made her day. Even though it would get her in trouble in the future, it was still so worth it. In this time, Usagi was not her mother, but portraying to be her elder sister. It was the first magic that Chibiusa ever used on her grandparents, and the last. Her mother, Neo-Queen Serenity, didn't really care for Chibiusa using magic to change peoples minds.

Chibiusa smiled over at Usagi and waved."Hi! Didja miss me?" She laughed and tossed a hand towel in Usagis face before walking over. She sat down on the edge of the bed and hugged a sleepy Luna. "Bet you're wondering why I'm here huh. Well, Mother sent me back for more training. She thinks I did really well last time, but remember how you and the scouts learn new things, and wanted me to become stronger too. I might be getting my own scouts when I am older, so I need to be a strong leader." She smiled over at her.

[Usagi Tsukino]

Water quickly ran against Usagi's face, soaking her hair as she quirked an eyebrow at the slightly unwelcome new arrival. It would have been so much easier for her to just give birth to a baby -- that would turn out to be a far more respectful little girl, rather than train a rude little brat. After Chibiusa threw a towel at her face, Usagi should have been much more thankful to get something to dry off her face and her hair.

She wasn't.

Instead, she continued to look at Chibiusa, thoroughly unamused, and remarked, "Why should I train you? Who said that I would be willing to take you, an annoying little brat, as my apprentice again?" Folding her hands and putting her nose in the air, she laughed a little bit. "You better learn how to be a Sailor Senshi the way I did!"

[Chibiusa Tsukino]

Chibiusa laughed at her. Learn like she did? Pulease! That would take forever, and Chibiusa, though she had the time, didn't want to waste it here. Puu would have to talk to Usagi...though the mission Puu gave Chibusa was suppose to stay secret, and Usagi could not keep one.

Chibiusa sighed and looked at the new key that Puu had given her. It was only to be used if the danger was to great for her and the scouts. She would have to use it to get them to a safe place. Chibiusa sighed and looked over to Usagi, knowing she was a bit mad at her, but oh well. "Usagi, I know that we do not get along in the past, but....this is serious. I am not allowed to tell you about my new mission....Puu made me promise....but I know that there is a big danger coming soon, and it's going to put more than just the scouts in danger...."

[Usagi Tsukino]

After Chibiusa's short chortle, the girl quickly became serious. Such swings were often uncommon for Chibiusa, and it concerned Usagi a bit. They were...in danger? Why in the world was Pluto being so tight-lipped about it? Usagi's blue eyes trailed over to the gold compact that laid on her desk - one that she took off of her high school uniform when she didn't wear it and kept with her at all times. Even though things had been peaceful for the past 2 years, hearing that things could become ugly - seeing that Chibiusa was back, hearing her state that they were in danger and that she had heard about it from Pluto. Usagi was beyond concerned.

"I wish you could say...perhaps we can go visit Rei and see if she's noticed anything yet. She has a talent for premonitions." Usagi suggested. "Besides, I'm sure they'll be happy to see you." She looked to Chibiusa with a generous smile. "Welcome back, seriously." She had missed the girl, and deep down, was happy to see the little girl back.

[Chibiusa Tsukino]

Chibiusa hated being serious, and really hated to keep important secrets, but she had promised her mother to listen to Pluto, and promised Pluto to stay quiet about it. It wasn't that hard, Chibiusa didn't really know what was going on anyways. Pluto was unsure of the danger, but knew that the scouts needed to be ready for anything.

When Usagi mentioned going to see Rei, it seemed like a good idea. If Rei could figure it out on her own, then Chibiusa was in the clear.
"I think Rei would be a good idea. I miss all the girls too...I promise I wont be as much trouble this time around. I remember when I caused you alot of trouble when I was black lady....I still feel really bad for that."

[Usagi Tsukino]

Black Lady? Why in the world did Chibiusa feel the need to bring that up? Was she sick? Was she just maturing? What in the world was going on?

"Don't even worry about Black Lady," Usagi responded. "You were really small when that happened, and I was 14. Don't concern yourself about that one too much!"

She stood up, and grabbed her purse after making sure that her Odango and everything else were properly situated. Turning her head, she gave Chibiusa a gentle look and a friendly smile. "Ready to go?" Usagi asked, wanting to head to the Hikawa Jinja. It would be nice for her to see Rei and the others.

[Chibiusa Tsukino]

Chibiusa remembered how much pain she caused everybody, and knew that she had to do better this time. When Usagi called over to her, she snapped out of her past and smiled. "Yeah, I'm ready to go."

She had hoped that Rei would have seen something, seen the new danger, or atleast the Miko...Miaka. Chibiusa promised not to tell, but she knew that the scouts had the right to know. Maybe....if she hinted somehow, let them figure it all out..well..Usagi wouldnt be able to get it if Chibiusa told her right out.
