"Chibi-Usa! Get back here!" Usagi screamed, chasing her madly giggling (and often just plain maddening) daughter-from-the-future. She was so intent on catching the pink-haired menace she didn't hear an equally loud voice calling from around the corner.

"Becca!"

"Chibi-Usa!"

"Rebecca Anne!"

WHAM!!!

Usagi skidded to a stop, hands over her mouth. Chibi-Usa was sitting on the sidewalk with a blonde girl about her size sitting in front of her, both girls rubbing their foreheads.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Usagi cried, rushing forward. She dropped to her knees the same time another woman joined the group, also gasping out apologies. The blonde girl blinked at Chibi-Usa.

~Are you okay?~ She asked in English. Chibi-Usa blinked at her, then looked at Usagi.

"Are you all right?" The new woman asked in Japanese. Usagi cocked her head. The woman, currently helping the blonde girl to her feet, was about Usagi's size and had short brown hair. Rectangular glasses slipped down her nose and she shoved them back into place with a finger.

"Mom!" A boy, about 13, jogged up. Usagi blinked several times. He was obviously the woman's son! They looked almost exactly alike!

"Becca. Say 'I'm sorry'," The woman instructed in a mix of English and Japanese.

~I'm sorry.~ Becca chirped. Usagi shook her head as she helped Chibi-Usa to her feet.

"Becca. I'm. Sorry." The woman said slowly.

"I'm. Sorry." Becca repeated dutifully. The woman smiled at the girls and bowed.

"Are you all right?" She asked.

"I'm okay," Chibi-Usa said, staring at Becca.

"I'm sorry, miss. May I, um," The woman's voice trailed off and she bit her lips. "May I present? No, um..." ~Oh bugger. How does it go again?~

"Um, Ma'am?" Usagi said. The woman looked up, blushing slightly.

"Yes?"

"Is your daughter all right?" Usagi looked at Becca. What an odd name. Becca was rubbing her forehead.

~I hit my head. Mommy, kiss it better?~ Her mother bent and gave her a soft kiss on her forehead. Usgai shuffled her feet. This was getting awkward.

~Mom!~ The boy hissed, tugging on his mother's sleeve. She glanced at him and shook her head.

~But Mom! That girl!~

~Sha!~ His mother chopped the air with her hand and the boy shut up, staring hard at Usagi.

"Um, well, if everyone's okay, we'll be going!" Usagi grabbed Chibi-Usa's hand and whirled away. The foreign woman may know how to handle her kids, but Usagi's grasp of English was horrible at best. The little girls were fine, time to head home and hang Chibi-Usa up by her ankles for running out on cleaning duty.

"Wait!" Usagi and Chibi-Usa stopped and looked over their shoulders. The woman smiled again. It was a pretty smile, Usagi realized, if a little sad.

"I'm Sarah. This is my daughter, Becca and my son, Marc. May I buy you some ice cream to say I'm sorry?" She said, stumbling a bit on the last sentence. Usagi glanced down at Chibi-Usa.

"We have work to do." Usagi answered, trying to talk slowly. Chibi-Usa stomped on her feet.

"We'd love some ice cream, Miss Sarah!" Chibi-Usa called, running back to the small family.

"Chibi-Usa! What about your room?!" Usagi snarled. Sarah blinked a few times, slowly mouthing the words, then she nodded.

"I see. Chores. Chores are very important." She gave Usagi a sympathetic look. "How do I find the Crown parlor, please? That is all, we will leave you if you tell us." Usagi's eyebrow developed a bit of a twitch. It was obvious Sarah wasn't fluent in Japanese and she was trying very hard, but her slow speaking was driving Usagi just a little bit crazy. That coupled with the Pink Menace trying to wheedle her way out of her chores and, well, let's just say fighting a monster would be preferable to her current situation. Sarah cocked her head, then reached into her pocket and pulled out a pink and purple device. She handed Becca over to her brother and walked toward Usagi, tapping on the device.

"Here. Show me, please?" She asked, offering the device to Usagi in both hands. Usagi looked down and smiled. A map of Juuban was clearly displayed, with a blinking blue dot showing their current location. Sarah used her fingertip to show the map could be moved.

"COOL!" Usagi said. She found the Crown on the map and showed it to Sarah. "Here." Sarah looked, nodded, and tapped the screen. A line appeared connecting the blue dot with the purple dot that marked the Crown. Sarah took her map back and smiled brightly.

"Thank you so much. Good luck, Princess." ~Marc! Becca! Say thank you and goodbye to Usagi and Chibi-Usa!~

"Thanks, bye," Marc said, bowing a bit stiffly.

~Thank you!~ "Bye-bye!" Becca said, waving. Sarah bowed to Usagi with a wink, then took her son's hand. The trio headed down the street, Sarah consulting her map while Marc said something that sounded an awful lot like "Sailor Moon".

"Waaa! Usagi! I wanted ice cream! How can you be so mean?!" Chibi-Usa wailed.

"Hey, what's the yelling for?" Mamoru asked, walking over.

"Mamo-chan! That...woman..." Usagi tried to explain. Chibi-Usa promptly latched onto Mamoru's arm and informed him tearfully that Stupid Usagi had turned down the apology gift of Miss Sarah and her family after the head-on collision of herself and Becca because Stupid Usagi wanted Chibi-Usa to do CHORES.

"You little brat, Miss Sarah agreed with me! She said chores are very important!" Usagi snarled. Chibi-Usa responded to that truth with her tongue out. Mamoru sighed and looped his free arm around Usagi's neck, gently holding her in place.

"Chibi-Usa, if you go home and clean your room right now, I will take you and Usagi to the Crown when you're done. Agreed?"

"Agreed!" Chibi-Usa blew her future mother a raspberry and flew back towards home. Usagi clung to Mamoru's waist.

"Mamo-chan, Miss Sarah called me 'Princess'." She hissed. Mamoru frowned slightly.

"Where were they going?" He asked.

"The Crown."

Just wanted to let you know that I have been greatly enjoying your Sailor Moon fanfic snippets that you have been posting. :)

It's been making me want to go back and watch the series...maybe I'll do that over the next two weeks since I'm on break from classes. I've only really seen the (annoying, IMHO) cartoon network versions, though I did recently get the ADV Japanese uncut(supposedly) Sailor Moon version. I'll have to work through that and then figure out how to get my hands on the rest of the series\arcs :)
*hugs*

I've been watching them online through various mirrors. They look uncut to me (meaning certain implied nude shots are still there and the theme song is not that bastardized, gods awful CN version)
