"Aieeeeeeeee!" screamed Sailor Moon as she went flying back from the explosion caused by the combination of Sailor Mars and Jupiter's attacks causing the youma of the day to explode. She was suddenly stopped by the wall of a nearby building.

"Sailor Moon!" exclaimed Sailor Mercury as she ran over to her friend, who had dehenshined. "Usagi-chan, daijobou?" The blue haired senshi waited for the blonde to reply. "Sailor Moon, can you hear me?"

"Mercury, is Sailor Moon all right?" questioned Jupiter as she and Mars knelt near the two. Mars wondered why the blonde had been forced into civilian form until she saw the broach her friend wore. She was about to point it out, but she heard a nervous sound emerge from her friend's throat.

"She was knocked unconscious when she hit the wall... We- We need to make sure that she doesn't have a concussion. We need to wake her up in case she does; otherwise... Otherwise... We need to wake her up."

"Have you tried shaking her?" questioned the senshi of flames. "Or Luna says that it usually takes her clawing or biting Usagi to wake her up."

"We could try causing a reaction that would cause her system to... Jupiter, I know that you just received your powers, but how well can you control electricity?"

"I'm not sure... I haven't really had the chance to try and control it," the brunette admitted.

"Hmm..." sounded Mercury before she took a deep breath. "Could you try and control it enough to send a small surge of electricity through Usagi-chan. Sort of like doctors do to heart patients, but not as much energy. Just enough to wake her up."

"I can try... I just hope I can control this well enough..." the tall senshi said as she took one of the blonde's hands in her own and focused her power enough to send a small bolt of electricity through her.

The three senshi heard a soft groan escape the girl as her pale blue eyes fluttered open.

"Are you all right?" questioned Mars softly.

"Hai, well I think so anyways. What happened?" questioned the blonde softly as she looked around at the faces of the three, her features marred by confusion before blinking the expression away. "Mercury, Mars, Jupiter? Why do you all look so worried?"

"You were sent flying into a wall by an explosion a couple of minutes ago," stated Mars simply despite the worry in her voice.

"Minna-chan, I think that we should get out of here before people start showing up and asking questions," Jupiter advised as she heard the sounds of people coming from different directions. "Good thing for sleepovers, ne?"

Mercury and Mars nodded as they stood, helping Usagi regain her balance.

"Do you think you can make it back to my place, or do you need one of us to help you?" questioned Mars.

"I think I might need a little help... My head is pounding , and my legs feel as though they can barely hold me up," admitted the shorter girl as she lifted a hand to her head. Her thoughts were quickly growing more and more unfocused, and only one being came to mind as Jupiter knelt down facing away from her. "Wh-Where is Luna?"

"She's back at my apartment. Rei-chan sensed the attack, and none of us had the heart to wake up the poor neko, so, we let her sleep," Jupiter replied. "Now hop on. We're lucky I do not live far from here."

"Lucky cat... A-Arigato, Mako-chan" said Usagi as she climbed onto the Amazonian senshi's back.

"Are you sure that you are all right, Usagi-chan?" inquired Jupiter as she felt the blonde almost go limp.

"Hai, I just have a feeling that Mercury should check me out when we get back with the Mercury computer, just to see if I am all right. Then I think I'll be sleeping for a while," stated the young woman with a yawn.

"All right. Just please try to stay awake on the way back. I am still not sure if you have a concussion or not, and the computer and my visor should let me know for sure," stated Mercury.

"Very well, just can we please hurry. I was having such a nice dream before the attack," Usagi stated.

"All right," Mercury agreed. Makoto then started back towards her apartment with Mercury following a moment later.

"Mercury," called out Mars. "We need to talk to Luna as soon as possible."

"So you noticed the crack in Usagi's broach as well? I was hoping that it was fatigue playing tricks on my eyes," stated the blue haired senshi.

"That is not the only reason I think we need to talk to her. I felt something odd about Usagi-chan's energy. It was changing. It was very slight, but I know I felt something very different about her."

"That could have something to do with her broach. Let the two sleep tonight, and we can talk about it with Luna when we wake up. Until then, we should keep Usagi from worrying. She'll find out when she wakes up, and right now I am more concerned with her head than her broach," Mercury stated with a tired sigh. "Anyways, we had better catch up."

Mars nodded before the two broke into a run to catch up with Jupiter. The black haired senshi noticed her blonde friend staring out with a distant look in her eyes. "Usagi-chan, are you sure that you are all right?"

The young woman looked over at Mars and sighed. "I think so... Just my head is really starting to hurt, and I'm just feeling really weird. I think I might actually have a concussing."

"Concussion, Usagi-chan," corrected Jupiter as they finally reached the top of her building. Luckily she only live three floors down, so the climb down the fire escape was relatively short compared to the walk from the battle scene.

"Right," Usagi muttered as the brunette helped her in through the window. The blonde walked over to a chair and sat down.

Mercury entered the room after Jupiter and crossed the room to stand in kneel of her injured friend. Pulling her mini-computer from her subspace pocket, Mercury activated her visor and scanned her friend for any sign of a concussion or any other injury. The blue haired girl's brow scrunched in thought as she saw that her friend wasn't suffering from a concussion, but was instead giving off two different sets of thought patterns. While one was very weak, it appeared to be stable.

'Has she always been like that?' thought Mercury. 'I suppose it could have to do with her being Sailor Moon, but why didn't I notice it before?'

"So how is she, Ami-chan?" inquired Makoto, who had powered down after climbing in through the window.

"Oh! She's fine... The fatigue must simply be due to having been asleep for so long before the battle. We all know how Usagi-chan likes to sleep," she replied.

The brunette giggled softly when said blonde muttered a slurred, "I heard that..."

"So she'll be all right?" questioned Rei as she allowed her henshin to fade in a blaze of fire.

Mercury nodded as she too powered down. "I think we should all get some sleep. We still need to talk to Luna in the morning about the issue concerning Usagi's broach."

"What happened to it?" inquired Makoto.

"I'll explain it, Ami-chan. You just go to sleep." The blue haired girl nodded and headed into Makoto's room, where her sleeping bag was.

"It was cracked in the explosion. It wasn't a very large crack," stated the dark haired girl. "We don't know if it will affect Usagi's ability to henshin, so we need to talk to Luna when she wakes up... Well, when we wake up."

"I guess I was far enough away to no notice it," the taller girl admitted.

"Well, let's just get some sleep ok?" suggested Rei. "I'll stay in here and make sure that Usagi is all right if she wakes up."

Makoto nodded and looked over towards her room where she could hear Ami's soft snores coming through. She then told Rei to get them if there was anything strange happening to Usagi before going into her room and falling asleep a few minutes later.

Rei laid down on the couch and looked over at her blonde friend. She softly whispered, "Sleep well, Usagi-chan."

The dark haired girl then allowed herself to drift off to sleep.
