( )= thinking

By the time the five girls left the sisters, it was late afternoon. They spent most of the time discussing what to do about the new enemies, and the other part remaining to just relax and have fun with one another. While things were merry and glee for them, Rini was bored out of her mind! Serena never told her where they were going and just took off. (Maybe they're at the temple I'll go see.)

Rini walked along, humming to herself as she walked to the Temple. Rini stopped at a red light for a moment waiting for the cars to pass and then went across. She continued, singing and humming in her own little world.

"Well hello cutie," a sweet voice came from above her. Beside Rini a pretty girl about a year or two older than Serena smiled. She had medium length, gorgeous orange hair with sparkling pink eyes. She was tall, slim, and very attractive.

"Hi!" Rini replied smiling cutely.

"What's your name little one?" the sunlit goddess said giggling gently.

"Rini, who are you?" the pink rabbit replied.

"Sabrina, it's nice to meet you Rini. Why are you here all alone? It's not a good idea to be wandering the streets all by yourself," Sabrina said kindly. "Where are you going? I'll take you there safely."

"The Temple on Cherry Hill. My friends are probably there waiting. Besides, I could use some company." Rini and Sabrina walked happily together, chatting a little, humming a few light and bubbly tunes.

"Here we are," Sabrina said holding out her hands to present their destination. "I'll walk you up."

"Okay." But to Rini's surprise no one was there. "Huh? Where is everybody?"

"Oh poor darling. I will stay with you honey until they come alright?" Rini nodded. She liked having new friends but being ditched was not one of her preferences.

"I'm glad we went to see the sisters," Mina said, "without their help we'd still be in a daze about these new forces."

"Oh yeah! I mean they know all about this and we just should've gone to them in the first place," Lita commented. Raye suddenly stopped short where she stood and gazed up at the Temple.

"Hey who's that girl up there with Rini?" Raye said out of the blue. Serena's eyes wandered up and finally saw what Raye had spoke of.

"Yeah who is that?! Rini! Rini!" Serena yelled running up the steps. Oh no who is that?! She could be one of them! "Rini!"

Sabrina turned to the blonde, meatball headed girl running towards them. "Who's that?"

"That's my cousin Serena. Thanks for being my friend Sabrina. I'll see you later!" Rini said getting up.

"Okay, bye sweetie." Rini waved back.

"Rini! Who is that?" Serena questioned seriously.

"Relax okay? She's my friend and her name is Sabrina and I don't appreciate you guys ditching me and-"

Serena had already left her side and begun walking towards Sabrina. Raye followed close behind while the others stayed with Rini.

"Hi I'm Sabrina, you must be Rini's cousin Serena."

"Uh, yeah." Serena nodded caught a little off guard and surprised.

"And you are?" she said turning to Raye.

"Raye, I live here at the Temple. So how do you know Rini?" Raye replied.

"We bumped into one another on the street. She said she was going here to the Temple and was looking for her friends. I didn't think it was a good idea to let her go all by herself and I accompanied her," Sabrina explained.

"Well, we appreciate your help very much Sabrina. I wouldn't want something to happen to her. We have to be going now, thanks," Serena turned and walked away. Sabrina watched her go and Raye watched Sabrina closely.

Raye thought: (I feel something surrounding this girl who is this Sabrina person anyway? She could be one of them or worse, the ringleader! But why do I get the feeling she has nothing to do with that? Could she be a friend of ours from the past? No! Can't be, we're all here. Forget It Raye, she's just another girl. But something still makes me wonder )

"Um I think I'll be going. Bye Raye," Sabrina said realizing that Raye was totally staring at her.

Raye came out of her trance, "Oh okay! Bye!"

"Hmm this is interesting!" Glacier murmured to herself.

"Really? What?" Aurora inquired in a state of confusion.

"Seems our friends, the nosy little Senshi have gone to visit our old adopted sisters," Glacier replied turning to Aurora.

"You mean-"

"Yes, Catsy, Avery, Prisma, and Birdie. They went looking for some dirt on us," Glacier cut off Glimmer.

"Too bad we never got to work with them, and you all know if we were there, this Earth would be nothing but hellish darkness. And it would all be ours!" Glimmer declared with a haunting laugh.

"True. But even without them, we'll succeed. I doubt since they were healed that they have any powers!" Borealis commented with an evil smirk.

"Yes, too bad oh too bad," Aurora agreed and then broke out into laughter. The sisters laughed hysterically as a united body.

"This will be all too easy! And don't forget Sailor Moon has already saved the world about two, three, four, oh who knows how many times before. Block her attack and strike while she's preparing to dust you. Best policy is to counter before you become counted as dead," Glacier put in her advice now in a serious tone. Then the laughter exploded forth again.

"Okay! Okay!" Borealis laughed with tears in her eyes, "I think our true plan of action must begin now. Glacier I'll be back in a bit! You ladies have fun now!" Borealis was still laughing when she left the common room and wiped away the streaming tears helplessly. "Time to make my grand entrance!" And with that, Borealis zapped herself down into Tokyo, on that vast, blue green mass of insignificant existence.

The sun had already set on yet another day. Serena, and the rest of the girls, had gone home for the night, awaiting a fresh new day to stumble upon massing and confusing clues. Although, talking with the sisters was a great help. Rini was snuggled in bed that night with her eyes open. She'd felt the same force of energy around Sabrina that Raye had earlier that afternoon. (I read Serena's mind, the way she looked at Sabrina was a big clue though. I mean, could she be one of those evil women? I hope not, I really like her. And I have to see her more, figure out what the forces I felt were. I can protect myself anyway! I am Sailor Chibi-Moon! Okay that's enough *yawn* night Rini. Goodnight.)

Serena meanwhile was standing in her doorway, watching the innocent, and sometimes insane and incredibly bratty rabbit (to herself anyway), falling into a wonderful dream world. (How sweet. Oh Rini if that Sabrina person did anything to you, I will kill her myself.) No matter how much the two hated one another at one time, the amount of love and trust they held through every minute of every day could never be erased from their hearts. No matter how much they fought.

Borealis was quietly walking the late night streets of Tokyo scanning everything for signs of Senshi while at the same time enjoying her sort of home away from home "vacation". Drayga had failed but Borealis thought of herself superior to Aurora. Her year older sister Aurora was the master of creativity and smarts, while Borealis was the master of harnessing power and will. Glimmer had the beauty and skilled handiness wherever they went in case of trouble, and Glacier, the eldest, the strong hold of them all as a unit, was the master or well actually the beholder of wisdom and strength, strategy and let's just say she pulled it all together.

The pink haired goddess walked silently in the night, shivering a little from the night air. After all, she was only wearing a long, black, spaghetti strap dress with high slits on both sides. Her long, slim legs were a perfect compliment to her large spiked black heels. "Why is it so cold down here?" she said out loud and listened intrigued as it echoed among an alley beside her. "Time for some fun!" Borealis didn't bother to disguise her obvious black star and merely changed her outfit a little. She added long silken black sleeves which were a little fuzzy to add warmth.

"Darkness bind, light dispel, from the fiery depths of hell, I beseech thy powers high, let our reign darken the skies!" as she said this, Borealis closed her eyes in the middle of the street hands out in front of her in a circle-like and palms up. A black portal opened eight feet away from where she stood, and a form stepped out before the portal closed. Borealis clapped her hands and smiled. "Oh good I was hoping to catch you!"

"Yes, it has been a long time hasn't it Mistress Borealis?" a cool voice replied with a eerie smile.

"Oh stop with that!" Borealis said puh-shawing her with a hand and a sweet smile. "Anyway, I have a job for you. See this girl?" Borealis held up a picture of Serena. "I want you to impersonate her, this is Serena the leader of the Senshi. Once you become her you'll know everything you'll need to know. Go to the address on the back of this picture and capture the Four Sisters living here."

"You mean the famous Four Sisters of the Doom Phantom?"

"Yes. Now Iris, once you get inside, mingle, and then when they least suspect it, capture them and check in with me. After I give you the go, transport the sisters back to the Starship just outside the Earth's atmosphere. Now go!" Borealis commanded.

"Yes Mistress," the nightly form said bowing and then disappeared.
