They stood on the small wooden dock, unsure how to proceed.

 

"Well, she did fall out of the sky here..."

 

"Do you think it matters where we use that key?"

 

Sailor Moon sighed. "I have no idea. I've never seen her use it. I'm not even sure how to use it."

 

Her protector laughed. His laughter was slightly mocking, slightly amused. "You never plan things out, Usako."

 

She gave him an irritated glare. "I do so!"

 

Arching an eyebrow, he shook his head. He wasn't going to argue with her. "Fine. How do you think the key works?"

 

The leader of the Senshi blinked and sighed. "I think it might be like our transformation tools, or weapons, you have to use a phrase or something."

 

"Stupid! Only I can use it!"

 

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen swung around to face the childlike voice in surprise. "Chibi-Usa? What are you doing here?" the dark-haired man inquired, frowning. "It's dangerous."

 

The pink-haired child snorted, crossing her arms. "And where do you get off stealing my Time Key, Usagi-baka?"

 

The young superhero had the grace to blush. "I didn't want you following, Chibi-Usa."

 

The regal young girl lifted her chin stubbornly. "It's my home! I have to come! I have to help save Mommy and Daddy! I have to help save everyone, too!"

 

Sailor Moon opened her mouth to protest, but Tuxedo Kamen put a hand on her arm to silence her. "Alright, Chibi-Usa. But you must promise to listen to Sailor Moon and me, alright? If we tell you to hide, you hide, understand?"

 

The child's eyes widened and she nodded hurriedly. "I will! I promise! You're really letting me go with you?"

 

Sailor Moon sighed. "Yes, Chibi-Usa, we are, I guess." She gave her ex-boyfriend a rueful look. She didn't know if she could fight well enough to protect her future daughter, but if Tuxedo Kamen thought it was alright, she'd listen to him.

 

"YAY!" came the excited childlike cry.

 

Both warriors shook their heads and chuckled at her exuberance.

 

"It's not going to be a picnic," Tuxedo Kamen warned.

 

"I know that!" the little girl snapped, offended.

 

Sailor Moon smiled slightly at the child. "As long as you realize that, it's fine with me if you come. Now, how do you use this key of yours?"

 

Chibi-Usa walked over to her future mother and held out her hand. "Give it to me and I'll take us there."

 

The Senshi of the Moon nodded and pulled the key from around her neck. She handed it to the pink-haired girl. Chibi-Usa took it carefully and then held it above her head as she closed her eyes.

 

She appeared to concentrate as a soft wind appeared and ruffled her pink hair and pajamas. Within moments, she was floating above the dock and she cried out, "Take me home!"

 

There was a flash, and Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon found themselves in a dark, cloudy vortex. They glanced around in surprise before Sailor Moon finally realized something.

 

"Where's Chibi-Usa?"

Glancing around the familiar space, she felt afraid. Where did they go? Where were they? "Hello? Tuxedo Kamen-sama? Sailor Moon?" She started walking in a direction, tears glittering in her eyes.

 

She was all alone. What if something happened to them? Then she'd never be born! What if they somehow couldn't make the trip with her? Were they still stuck in the past?

 

What would happen to her mother then? She couldn't save her without Sailor Moon's help! "Mommy, what am I supposed to do?" she whimpered, wrapping her tiny arms around herself. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know how she'd save everyone without Sailor Moon's help.

 

How was she supposed to do this alone? She was only a little girl!

 

"Small Lady?"

 

Chibi-Usa snapped her head up at the familiar voice, and burst into tears as she ran into the waiting arms of the woman clad in a dark sailor fuku. "Puu!"

 

The woman laughed softly as she wrapped her arms around the tiny child. "Small Lady, what are you doing here? It's too dangerous to come home yet."

 

The child looked up at the green-haired woman sadly. "But I brought Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen-sama. But I don't know where they are."

 

Puu nodded and straightened. She took the young girl's hand. "Then let us go find them, hm?"

 

"You'll help me? But you told me I wasn't to bring anyone back with me!"

 

The mysterious woman smiled. "I know, but it is alright, Small Lady. You did it to save your mother."

 

The child nodded, gripping her hand. "Yeah and the other Senshi were kidnapped, too. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen want to save them too. So we all came together. You're really not mad?"

 

The woman's dark green hair flowed around her as she shook her head. "Of course not, Small Lady. I am very proud of you. You have been through so much and you're handling it very well."

 

Chibi-Usa blushed slightly. "So, you can find them?"

 

The one called Puu nodded. "Of course. Come with me," she said, as she led the child off into the dark swirling clouds.

Sailor Moon sighed. "We've been walking for hours."

 

"We have not, Usako. It's only been twenty minutes. You exaggerate too much."

 

"Well, it seems like hours."

 

"That may be, but it hasn't been. And we'll keep looking until we find her!"

 

Sailor Moon grimaced. It wasn't like she wasn't worried about the girl. She was extremely worried. But she swore he cared more about Chibi-Usa than he did about her. It was stupid, but she couldn't help feeling jealous. Extremely jealous. And angry.

 

Just because she was their future daughter, didn't mean she had to give up a part of Mamoru's heart already, did it? He should be hers alone, at least for awhile. She wasn't supposed to have to share him yet. It just wasn't fair.

 

Of course, she was no longer with him. She shouldn't be feeling so angry with the child. She should simply try to forget that he was ever her boyfriend, her suitor, her life.

 

"I know," she whispered sadly.

 

Tuxedo Kamen glanced at her worriedly. "Are you okay?"

 

She nodded, trudging forward. "I'm fine."

 

He frowned, but let it drop as he continued to walk with her, searching for the little girl they had lost.

 

After another few minutes, the man clad in black glanced behind him. He thought he heard...

 

"Tuxedo Kamen-sama!" a high voice screamed and a small pink bundle threw herself into his arms.

 

Luckily for the child, Tuxedo Kamen had quick reflexes and he caught her easily. "Chibi-Usa!"

 

Sailor Moon frowned, but then smiled, stopping and peering at the child in her ex-boyfriend's arms. "We were worried about you."

 

She shook her head. "I was worried about you both! I thought that I didn't bring you with me!"

 

"She was very concerned," a soft voice interrupted, startling the small family.

 

"Who are you?" Tuxedo Kamen demanded suspiciously.

 

Sailor Moon, however, gasped softly. "Sailor Pluto."

 

The older woman smiled mysteriously and nodded. "Yes, Princess. I am Sailor Pluto, the Guardian of Time."
