Richforce: I read Tuxedo will's "Adventures of the Chibi Scouts." and decided to do something similar. This story is also based on Naoko Takeuchi's Parallel Sailor Moon, a short Manga set in an alternate reality. I will use English names for the original characters introduced in the story. Kousagi Tuskino is now Karen Tuskino, Mina Aino is now Marie Aino, Mako Kino is now Lisa Kino, Ami Mizuno (Jr.) is now Alice Mizuno and Rei Hino (Jr.) is now Rachel Hino. All Characters except original ones belong to Naoko Takeuchi.

Adventures in Parenthood

Rated PG-13

Setting: Shortly after Stars

Chapter 1: Suddenly Adults

The teacher in Crossroads high school addressed her class. "How many of you plan on becoming parents someday?" Serena shot up her hand remembering Rini. Amy, Lita and Mina raised their hands after a second or two of thought. Raye also raised her hand after a second of delay; she started going to Crossroads after her Catholic school decided that having a girl who wanted to be a Shinto priestess was a "conflict of interests".

"Are we gonna talk about sex?" said the class joker.

"No that's biology, this is family studies." The teacher turned her attention back to the class. "While having a child can be fun it's also a lot of responsibility. This assignment will prepare you for the responsibility of being a parent." She took out a box full of baby dolls. "For the next week you will be caring for a doll as if it were your own baby. We used to assign you in pairs but after an incident last year you will all be single parents." She started to hand out each doll. "These dolls will cry when they need to be feed, changed or just held. Oh and if you lose the doll you fail the assignment." The bell rang and the class was dismissed.

"I can't believe I have to play with a doll for an entire week!" said Raye.

"We aren't playing, this is a serious assignment." said Amy.

"It's a cakewalk." said Lita. "Probably the easiest A any of us can get."

"I'm going to name mine Norton." said Mina.

"Norton?" Lita asked.

"It's a nice name."

Serena then asked them a question. "You all hesitated when you were asked if you planed on becoming parents. Why?"

"I guess we didn't really think about that part of our futures." said Amy. "I guess that we mostly thought about what we wanted to do or our destiny of guarding you in the Crystal Millennium."

"Truth is I never thought of myself as the mommy type." said Raye.

Just then the power went out. "Now what?!" said Lita.

"Let's just get out of the school." said Serena.

###

They went outside and found a mosquito monster sticking its sucker like nose into the hood of a running car. "Must have more energy!" it said in a buzzing voice as it drained the car's battery. Its wings moved so quickly that they made vibrations that shattered the dolls they were holding.

"No!" screamed Amy. "I'm going to get an F; I've never gotten an F in my life! Goodbye Valedictorian!"

"Looks like we have a new enemy." said Raye.

"Let's get this sucker!" said Sailor Moon.

"MOON ETERNAL POWER!"

"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!"

"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"

"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!"

"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"

"Guys like you should keep your noses out of trouble! I stand for justice and love, I am Sailor Moon and on behalf of the moon, I will punish you!"

"New energy, I must have it!" The Mosquito then charged and stuck his sucker into the Silver Crystal, but then black energy came from the mosquito and a white energy came from the crystal causing a bright flash.

When the light faded they looked around to see that they were at an outdoor café. They also stared at themselves shocked to see that they were now older, and in civilian clothing. Serena was wearing a pink shirt and blue jeans, Mina was wearing a red dress with thin shoulder straps, Lita was wearing a green shirt and kaki pants, Raye was wearing a white sweater and blue jeans and Amy was wearing a blue blouse and brown slacks. "We're old!" yelled Serena.

"How did this happen to us?!" said Mina.

"Where is that energy?!" said the mosquito who was unchanged. "Mosquitocon must have it!"

"We'll worry about that later!" said Lita. "Transform again!" But when they tried to reach into their space pockets they found that they couldn't.

"This is bad." said Raye.

"I'll just take your energy!" Mosquitocon said.

Suddenly a magical sounding music seem to come from somewhere around them. "Stop right there!" said a girl with red eyes and pink hair with four rabbit ear buns in hair two on one side and two on the other going into two thin wispy pigtails. She wore a Pink Sailor uniform with light pink ribbons. "I am Sailor Moon!"

"And we are the Sailor Scouts!" said four more girls in Sailor Uniforms. Sailor Mercury wore the usual dark blue uniform with light blue ribbons; she had short blue hair and blue eyes. Sailor Mars wore a red uniform with purple ribbons; she had long purple high lighted black hair and violet eyes. Sailor Jupiter had a green uniform with pink ribbons; she had red hair done into a ponytail and green eyes. Sailor Venus had an orange uniform with navy ribbons; she had long blonde hair and blue eyes.

"You have the energy I'm looking for!" said Mosquitocon. He charged at the scouts who attacked him.

"MERCURY ICY SNOW!"

Sailor Mercury launched a mini snow storm at Mosquitocon.

"MARS FIRE VIPER!"

Sailor Mars hit Mosquitocon with a stream of fire that looked like a snake.

"JUPITER LIGHTNING CYCLONE!"

Sailor Jupiter launched an electric tornado.

"VENUS LOVELY SWORD!"

Sailor Venus created a sword of light and slashed Mosquitocon.

"MOON AURA SLAM!"

Sailor Moon sent a beam of white light at Mosquitocon blasting him into dust.

"We made that bug go splat!" said Sailor Moon.

"Oh! You destroyed Mosquitocon!" said a man with pure white skin wearing a blue, red and green suit. Half of his head was bald while the other half had hair in the three colors of his suit hiding the other half of his face.

"What do want Weirdo!?" said Sailor Mars.

"I am not a weirdo, I told you before I am the beautiful Spectro."

"Spectro?!" asked Serena.

Spectro had an angry look. "It is against the law of the universe to say my name without putting the word beautiful in front of it!"

"What a vain fool." said Raye.

"Anyway I can't tell you what our plan is, but you can't stop it." He then vanished.

"We better get going!" said Sailor Mercury. They all speed off in different directions.

"Guys what just happened?" asked Serena.

"I think we were just saved by the Sailor Scouts." said Amy.

"Aren't we the Sailor Scouts?" said Raye.

"Not anymore." said Lita.

"And we may never be again." said Mina.
