Part 9  "Going Nuts over You!"

        As the seven little girls, Mrs. Tsukino, and Chad traveled
around Scoutland, Raye's sense of evil continued to intensify. She
couldn't really pinpoint where exactly it was coming from but something
evil was around and it seemed powerful. She had stopped riding on Chad's
shoulders and was now walking just a few steps ahead of him, any thought
of mischief banished to the dark recesses of her mind.
        There had been some false alarms. A giant turtle singing badly
was, at first, suspect. Raye couldn't believe that there were people
worse than Chad when it came to singing. Another false alarm was when a
giant carrot came running towards them babbling something about giant
bunnies. To say that these false alarms were disconcerting would be an
understatement.
        Reenie walking behind the rest of the group with Serena noticed
that something was wrong. The girls seemed to be nervous. She looked at
Serena who appeared to be more attentive and anxiously glancing around.
The typically talkative smiling little girl was now silent except for
the occasional comment. It was obvious to Reenie that Serena was just
trying to keep up appearances.
        "Serena, is something wrong?" Reenie asked softly. <What's she
worried about?>
        "No..." Serena replied after a brief pause and then gave a
nervous giggle. "Nothing that my BIG SISTER can't handle," Serena said
trying to reassure the older girl. Reenie smiled back and then continued
to walk in silence.
        A few moments later they heard a voice calling out, "PEANUTS!!!
GET YOUR PEANUTS HERE!!!"
        "Can we get some, Mommy?" Serena squeaked out, her stomach
overriding her worry that the Negaverse was about. She missed the dark
look that Raye sent her as she looked hopefully towards the costumed man
dressed as a squirrel.
        Mrs. Tsukino checked her purse. "I suppose, dear, IF they aren't
too salty," she decided.
        Reenie suddenly let go of Serena's hand, hurried over to Mrs.
Tsukino, and whispered something. Ellen grimaced slightly but nodded,
"Okay, girls, let's find a spot to sit while we wait for Reenie." Reenie
had dashed off headed in the direction of the restrooms. As the girls
settled on a nearby bench, Ellen walked over and bought two bags of
peanuts. She handed one of them to Chad.
        Serena who was near her mother outstretched her hand and asked,
"Can I have some, please Mommy?" <I'm starving!>
        "Hold on, Serena. I want to see if they're too salty," Mrs.
Tsukino repeated to her young daughter. Reaching into her bag, Ellen
took out a couple of peanuts and popped them into her mouth. Chad
followed suit. He didn't notice that Carrie had snuck up behind him and
darted her hand into his bag. Quickly she pulled her hand away and
shoved some of the peanuts into her mouth and started to chew.
        Ellen scrunched her face. "Th-They taste... funny," she said
after swallowing.
        "Yeah," Chad agreed, also making a face, "But it isn't salt."
        Carrie, once again, snuck up behind Chad. Licking her lips, she
reached out and snatched a couple more peanuts. She quickly popped the
treasured nuts into her mouth before Mrs. Tsukino or Chad could see her.
She normally wasn't allowed to have nuts. Her mother deemed her too
young to have them. So sneaking something forbidden was certainly
exciting. Mina giggled as she watched her friend successfully outwit the
adults.
        The girls watched in some surprise as Mrs. Tsukino's face
changed, seeming to soften. A broad grin slowly spread across her face
and she started to giggle. Chad had a similar reaction although he
didn't giggle.
        "COOL DUDE!" Chad suddenly shouted and, reaching over, tagged
Ellen, "You're it!"
        "Hey!" Ellen squawked. "That ain't fair!" she shouted as she
started off after Chad. "You come back here and play fair!!!" she
whined.
        "Ellen! Chad! You two come back here THIS MINUTE!" boomed a
high-pitched voice.
        "Carrie?!?" Mina squeaked softly looking at her friend with some
shock. She saw Carrie glaring disapprovingly at the two adults who were
running around playing tag.
        "Aww Miss Sayama," Chad whined to Carrie, "lighten up, girl!"
Running, he got behind Carrie and used her as a shield. "Can't catch
me!!!" he jeered at Mrs. Tsukino before running off again.
        "Ellen, you stop right this minute!" Carrie admonished, "There
are too many people around here to play those types of games." Mrs.
Tsukino skidded to a halt and stuck out her bottom lip. "Don't you dare
pout, young lady." Tears started to well up in Ellen's eyes. Turning
slightly, Carrie bellowed, "CHAD!!! GET BACK HERE!!!"
        "Amy?" Serena whispered while the girls huddled together,
"What... what's happening?" <They're acting really weird especially
Mom.>
        "Those peanuts are infected with nega-energy, Serena," Amy
explained after making a quick scan with her computer, "If Carrie, Chad,
and Mrs. Tsukino are any indication, then the peanuts must cause
people's behavior either to regress or grow up." The other girls glanced
around. Wherever the peanut vendor had walked, similar situations were
taking place. Adults were acting like kids and kids were acting like
adults.
        "We've got to find a place to transform," Raye said softly, "We
have a good opportunity to do it now when Carrie is out chasing after
Chad." <That looks like fun...> The little girl was dragging a teary
eyed Ellen Tsukino along chasing Chad who was sprinting around the park
grounds. <Got to keep my mind on business.>
        "Okay let's go," Serena agreed. <I hope Mom and Reenie will be
all right.> Quietly, not wanting to attract undue attention to
themselves, the girls quickly slipped through the crowd looking for a
place to transform. Eventually, they found a secluded spot behind two
stalls with bushes blocking the other ends. Calling out their
transformation phrases, the five little girls vanished and were replaced
with the Sailor Scouts!
        "Let's go!" Sailor Jupiter yelled and, leaping, sailed over the
stall and into the crowd. Her companions were not long in coming.

        "MOMMY LOOK!!!! THE CHIBI-SCOUTS!!!" one little girl called out.
        What happened next was a total shock to the Scouts. Typically
when they showed up people would flock away from them. No sooner had the
declaration been given than the Sailor Scouts were swamped by a horde of
Scout-crazed fanatics.
        "That way!" Sailor Mercury declared using her computer to locate
the Droid, now that she had a reading on the infected peanuts that the
Droid was carrying.
        "Quick before these rugrats overrun us!" Sailor Mars ordered.
With that she set out as fast as she could dodging people that were
trying to talk to her. The others were quick to follow although Sailor
Moon and Venus lagged behind a little as they stopped to sign autographs
for children.

        "The plan is going well," Avery boasted. Her Droid nodded, "We
will soon take this Crystal Point." <Rubeus will be pleased.> That's
when she heard a voice, a voice she loathed.
        "Peanuts are a tasty treat and should not be used to harm
people! I AM SAILOR MOON, THE CHAMPION OF LOVE AND JUSTICE! IN THE NAME
OF THE MOON, I WILL PUNISH YOU!"
        Whatever Avery's response was going to be was drowned out by a
tremendous cheer. Glancing back over her shoulder, Jupiter whistled.
Turning slightly to see what the noise had been the Scouts found
themselves to be the center of an ever-growing throng of people.
        "Why aren't they running away?" Mars asked testily.
        "Droid Dyno-nut, get those annoying Sailor pests!" Avery
shouted. This brought a large amount of booing and hissing from the
gathered crowd.
        "As you command," the giant squirrel replied. Instantly, in a
swirl of dark nega-energy, its coat darkened to an almost midnight black
color, its eyes glowed a violent red, and its claws sharpened into
deadly points. "Are you looking for a blast?" the Droid asked as it
tossed an oversized acorn at the Sailor Scouts. The acorn landed on the
roof that the Scouts were just standing on. They immediately jumped and,
as they did so, the acorn exploded into a burst of flames. A shout of
indignation rose from the crowd as the Scouts' faithful fans demanded
that they deal with this villian.
        "MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!!!" was Mars' battle cry as she
landed on the ground. The blazing rings of fire lanced out and to Mars'
dismay passed under the rodent Droid's legs. However, the Droid yelled
in pain as the fire singed its fur. <Kami, I should have aimed higher. I
HATE being five!> Off in one part of the growing crowd, a chant for
Sailor Mars started to build.
        Not to be outdone, Sailor Jupiter began her own attack, "JUPITER
THUNDERCLAP ZAP!!!" Throwing her attack, it hit the Droid but the
resulting concussion blew Jupiter backwards and she skidded on her rear.
"Ouch!" Jupiter screeched. This got some chuckles out of the crowd,
"Stay back!" Jupiter ordered as children started to rush towards her.
        "Oh, you like explosions, do you?" Dyno-nut asked hefting a
large chestnut, "Try this one!" With that, it threw the nut. It sailed
through the air toward the Scouts and the they quickly scrambled out of
its way. The chestnut landed and exploded enveloping the area in smoke.
The sounds of frightened children were soon heard. Some of the parents
were starting to wonder what kind of show this was for young children.

        Reenie was trying to hurry. She wanted to get back to see Serena
so that they could continue through the theme park. She was also hoping
that Serena might tell her why she looked so worried. Reenie was just
beginning to wash her hands when a little girl burst into the restroom
and shouted, "The Chibi-Scouts are here! And they're fighting a
monster!"
        "Really?!?" another little girl demanded. Getting a nod from the
first, both sprinted out of the restroom.
        "Serena!" Reenie shouted. Not bothering to dry her hands, she
bolted out of the restroom and ran right into a churning sea of bodies.
<I have to find Serena!> Reenie thought worriedly, <But if they see me,
they might come after me... Mommy, I'm so scared!> She was torn between
going to look for her little sister and staying out of sight until it
was all over with. "Please be okay, Serena. Please..." Reenie said to
herself and entered into the throng of people. However, the further she
went, the more she was pushed away from her goal. <I'll try and get to
you soon, Little Sister. I promise. I hope Sailor Moon will keep you
safe.> Tears began to flow down her cheeks as she tried to work against
the flow of bodies.

        "Venus, try and tie up its hands!" Mars called while scrambling
to her feet. <These crazy people think it's just a show!> Clenching her
fists, she was about to tell the crowd that it wasn't a show but
realized that it just might cause even more problems. A mass panic would
not do them any good.
        In fact, those affected by the peanuts were in even more of a
dangerous position. Parents were frozen in terror while their children
tried to pull them away to safety. Other children were desperately
trying to tell their parents that it was all make believe and they
shouldn't believe everything they see. And in some areas, children who
hadn't been affected but their parents had were terrified or running off
thinking it was a great opportunity to get into mischief.
        "VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!!!" Venus cried launching her attack.
Her golden chain flew through the air and wrapped itself around the
Droid's arms. "Gotcha!" Venus cried and started to pull.
        "Oh, you want to play tug of war!" the Droid chattered and
started to pull the chain hand over hand drawing Venus closer.
        "Help!" Venus squawked as her feet started to slide along the
ground. The others ran over and, grabbing hold of the chain, started to
heave with all their Scout enhanced strength. After a minute or so of
being stalemated the Droid yawned showing its sharp fangs before it
grinned. Taking a firm grip with both hands, the Droid jerked and
started to twirl the chain around. The Scouts were lifted off their feet
and started spinning.
        "Oooohhhhhhh!!!!!!" Sailor Moon groaned out, "I'm gonna be
sick!"
        "You're not the only one!!!" Jupiter shouted.
        Giving one more twirl of the chain, the Droid let go and sent
the Scouts flying backwards. Grinning, it pulled out a massive peanut
nearly as large itself. "Now to finish you off!" it declared while
hefting the giant nut over its head. That's when a streak of red flashed
and landed between the rodent's clawed feet.
        "Peanuts can be fattening and so you should avoid them! I am..."
        "TUXEDO MASK!!!" Sailor Moon and Mars shouted cutting him off.
        Giving a growl, the Droid turned and aimed its deadly weapon at
the new intruder. However, before it could launch it, Tuxedo Mask
launched himself into the air and threw several roses blinding the
Droid.
        "NOW SAILOR MOON!" Tuxedo Mask called as he landed on the
ground.
        "RIGHT!" Sailor Moon replied drawing out her scepter. She
shouted, "MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION!!!" Giant crescent moon shaped energy
leapt forth and neatly cut the Droid in half. The giant peanut bomb and
the Droid disappeared into a pile of nega-dust. "Dusted!!!" Sailor Moon
declared after the Droid had been defeated. A cheer went up from the
assembled crowd.
        "Mercury, cover us!" Venus called out. Nodding Mercury created a
fog and the Scouts vanished much to the disappointment of the crowd.
The Scouts returned to their original hiding spot and changed before
hurrying to get back to where they had left Ellen.

        "MOMMY!!!" Serena cried running towards her mother. "I was so
scared!" she said while wrapping her arms around her mother's legs. She
was happy to feel Ellen pick her up and give her a hug. "Are you okay,
Mommy?" Serena asked worriedly.
        "Yes, honey, I am," Mrs. Tsukino answered with a concerned look
crossing her face. <Why's my face so wet?> She could see that Serena and
the other girls appeared to be worried. "Why were you scared?" she asked
her daughter.
        "'Cuz the Sailor Scouts were here," Serena answered hugging her
mother, "They fought a really scary monster."
        Raye watched Chad carefully; he seemed to be acting normal. She
had to fight down the urge to run over to him and ask how he was doing.
Carrie seemed to be shaken up a little bit but Mina was talking to her
telling her that it was all right. Amy and Lita were also shaken. <They
must be feeling the same thing I am... That was a very close fight!>
        "Serena!" came the call. Turning, the group saw Reenie running
towards them. Serena wriggled free of her mother's reassuring hug and
ran over to Reenie. Jumping up, she hugged Reenie's neck. "I'm back,
Serena. It's okay," Reenie said hugging the little girl. <I'm sorry I
couldn't be there for you earlier.>
        "Maybe we should go home," Ellen declared. To her surprise,
everyone nodded. Making sure she had everyone, they were heading for the
exit when they came upon the battle scene. The area was crater pocked
from the explosions. Ellen shivered slightly and Raye walked a little
closer to Chad's legs. The ride home was much more subdued. Mina waved
good-bye to Carrie when they had dropped the little girl off saying that
she'd see her in school tomorrow.
        As they arrived at the Tsukino home Chad told Raye to wait
outside while he went and got their helmets. Raye wasn't about to argue.
        "Thank you for taking me, Mrs. Tsukino," Raye said to Ellen when
Chad came out. Chad smiled.
        "You're very welcome, Raye. Good-bye."
        "Bye," Raye chirped and waved to the others who waved back.
Raye settled into the sidecar. Then Chad started his motorcycle and
headed for home to the temple.
        "We had a really good time. Thanks, Mrs. Tsukino," Amy said.
        "Yeah, it was really fun!" Lita agreed.
        "Yeah!" Serena and Reenie agreed, "Thanks."
        "You're quite welcome, girls," Mrs. Tsukino added, "Now come on,
girls let's get you all washed up." She looked at Amy, Lita, and Mina,
"I want you to look good when your parents come to pick you up."
Turning, the five little girls and Ellen entered the home.

        Later that evening Artemis found himself stalking around the
living room. Having been summarily banished downstairs until Mina was
finished with her bath, little Artemis was on the prowl looking for
something to keep him occupied. He had made two complete circuits of the
room and was about to give up when something moving caught his eye.
Stopping, he tensed slightly only shifting his eyes. A piece of yarn
dangled from an arm of a chair, its red strand being blown by a gentle
breeze coming in through a nearby open window.
        <Yes!> Artemis thought happily. It had been such a long time
since he had played with yarn that even watching it sway gently back and
forth was mesmerizing. Drawing himself into a bundle of muscles, Artemis
leapt and, scrabbling with tiny paws, caught the yarn before falling to
the ground. He started to tug at it trying to dislodge the ball of yarn
that was the source of the strand.
        After tugging for a few moments Artemis was breathing hard.
This was harder work than he remembered. Dropping the part he was
playing with, he carefully picked his way up the furniture and giving
another leap landed on the chair's arm. He felt like he was going to
lose his balance and fall for a moment before he softly jumped onto the
chair seat. There, sitting wedged between the cushion and the arm, was a
giant red ball of yarn. Giving what in human terms would have been
considered a face swallowing grin, Artemis pounced on the ball of yarn.
His forward momentum carried the kitten and yarn off of the chair to
land with a mild thump on the floor.
        After several enjoyable minutes Artemis found himself thoroughly
entangled in the yarn. Struggle as he might, he couldn't free himself.
Panic started to build within him. Twisting and turning, he tried to get
out but it was useless; he merely entangled himself more. Starting to
mew for help, he was soon discovered by Mina.
        "Artemis?!?" Mina's voice came to him as she entered the room.
Her tone was concerned. "Where are you?!?" Artemis mewed a little louder
while trying to hide his embarrassment. He had no wish for Mina to see
him trussed up like some Thanksgiving turkey.
        Mina came around the coffee table and discovered the kitten
brightly wrapped in red yarn. "Oh!" Mina chirped, slightly shocked. Her
concern took over and hurrying she gathered her kitten up and started to
unwrap him. "Silly kitty," Mina giggled as the concern started to be
replaced with amusement. Artemis glared at Mina who only cuddled him
close and giggled, "You do such silly things!" Mina reiterated. "Mommy
won't like that you unwrapped all her yarn."
        "You're right, she won't," Mrs. Aino said sternly, "Mina, I told
you to put him in your room."
        "I'm really sorry, Mommy," Mina said meekly.
        "It's okay," Mrs. Aino sighed, "Give me a hug and then go up to
bed. Your father will be up in a minute to read you a bedtime story."
        "'Kay!" Minako squeaked while skipping over. After reaching her
mother, Mina eagerly hugged her and managed to nearly squash Artemis in
the process. "'Night!"
        "Goodnight, honey," Mrs. Aino said while hugging her daughter.
After her little girl had gone up the steps, Mrs. Aino sighed and set
about the task for wrapping her yarn back up into ball. <Cats!> she
thought irritatedly, <Where did she ever find him? If I didn't know any
better, I'd say Artemis did this on purpose...>

        The next morning Amy pulled Lita and Serena aside for a quiet
chat before school. Making sure no one was around she said, "Okay, from
now on, we behave like our five year old counterparts!"
        "Huh!?!" Lita and Serena responded.
        "Serena, no more stars..." Amy scowled as Lita snickered. "And
that goes for you too, Lita!" she hissed out and poked Lita to make her
point.
        "But Amy, I like getting stars!" Serena whined out, "It's the
first time my parents were ever proud of me!" She started to pout while
crossing her arms.
        "Yeah, why should we act dumb?" Lita argued, "I mean, we can
breeze through these things... 'Sides, it isn't like we're going to be
here for very long, Amy."
        Amy felt her resolve starting to melt but then she remembered
being teased. "No!" she stated firmly, "No stars! Now I want each of you
to promise me that you'll flunk everything."
        "But Amy..." Serena began but trailed off as her usually quiet
friend glared at her. "'Kay fine..." Serena snapped and then brushed
past Amy muttering, "You're no fun!" <Now I won't get a hug from Mom
today.>
        "Serena!" Lita protested but it was too late. Serena was already
deep in conversation with Mina and Carrie. "Oh okay, Amy," she agreed,
"But I still don't see what the big deal is."
        <You're lucky you don't,> Amy thought as she felt the Grade Two
reader pressing against her from inside her backpack. Sighing slightly,
she just said, "Trust me, Sis, we need to do this." Turning, she started
to walk towards the rest of their group, "I'll try and cheer Serena up."
        "That shouldn't be hard," Lita giggled out. This got a snicker
out of Amy. Soon after they joined Serena, Mina, and Carrie, they were
called into class.

        "Good morning, Amy," her teacher greeted her, "Did you try and
read the book I gave you?"
        Amy waited until the entire class was looking at them before she
spoke in a slightly louder than normal tone of voice, "It was too hard,
Ma'am. I really tried but I couldn't figure out a lot of the words." She
felt some satisfaction as her fellow students' eyes grew large and she
heard some whisperings.
        "Well at least you tried," her teacher consoled her. She then
took the book that Amy handed her. "You are doing really well, Amy. I
bet your mother is very proud of you." Amy nodded and then moved off to
take her seat. Once the attendance was taken, the class got settled down
to the business at hand. "Okay, Serena, we'll start with you today. What
is this letter?"
        <I should be able to get this right!> Serena thought, <But NO,
Amy doesn't want me to get a star!> She scowled darkly at Amy and then
said, "It's a `P'."
        "Oh, you're very close. Try again," the teacher asked.
        "A `4'?" Serena guessed. The teacher frowned, "`9'?"
        "No, Serena, it is the letter `R'." Shuffling the cards, the
teacher turned next to Lita. "What letter is this, Lita?" she asked
while holding up a card.
        "A `R'," Lita said.
        "No, please try again." <Where'd my newest star pupils go?!?>
        "`A'?" Lita asked tentatively.
        "No, the letter is a `Q'." <Amy... Amy will stop this poor
performance streak.> She grabbed her set of Grade One cards and held one
up. "Amy, what letters are these and what do they spell?"
        <Got to make this look good.> "D...U...G," Amy said and then
winced at the frown the teacher gave her.
        "Try again, Amy."
        "D...O...G... Ah... dig?"
        "You have the letters right but try the word again, Amy."
        "Da... dog?"
        "Correct," the teacher said but it was obvious that the rest of
the class was just as shocked as she was. <Maybe she just wasn't
listening.> But as the lessons progressed, she discovered that Serena's
and Lita's performance had taken a decided nose dive. Their performance
dived to a level even below that it had been before their recent
prowess. Not only that but they had taken HER prize pupil, Amy, down
along with them. It was rather distressing.
        As recess time came the teacher had the morbid duty of handing
out stars to almost everyone except Amy, Lita, and Serena. The students
were in shock. This was the first time in quite some time that Amy
failed to receive a star. As they were filing out the door, she stopped
Amy and asked, "Is anything wrong, Amy?"
        "No, Ma'am," Amy replied.
        "Well if you need any help, let me know."
        "'Kay." Amy nodded and then hurried to catch up with her friends
with a definite smile on her face.

        "Serena, you promised to be Sailor Mars today," Carrie reminded
Serena.
        "Yep!" Serena said brightly, "And you're Sailor Moon." She felt
an evil grin spread across her face and she fought to hide it. "So
what's the plan today, Sailor Venus?" she asked Mina.
        "Wait until the others come, SAILOR MARS," Mina giggled and then
waved Lita and Amy over. Once Mina had assembled the proper amount of
Scouts, villains, and victims to be saved, the game began. At first it
was fairly innocent enough. Serena was having a fun time hamming it up
as Sailor Mars. Carrie even agreed that Serena made a far better Mars
than Moon. That's when things started to go terribly wrong. Serena took
offense to one of Carrie's comments. She started treating "Sailor Moon"
like she perceived Raye treating her. In short, Carrie wound up in
tears.
        "Way to go, Serena!" Mina hissed angrily, "What the heck were
you doing?!"
        "Hey, Raye does that to me all the time!" Serena hissed back
trying to defend herself but she couldn't deny the guilty feeling that
was making itself known.
        "Yeah but you're fourteen!" Mina said almost in a whisper,
"Carrie's only five... Apologize to her."
        Serena flushed guiltily and, shuffling over to Carrie, said,
"Carrie, I'm really sorry for making you cry. I didn't mean to be mean
to you." Carrie sniffled and looked at Serena. "You make a GREAT Sailor
Moon. I think she'd be proud."
        "Really?" Carrie sniffled out.
        "Yeah, Mina would agree with me."
        "Yeah!" Mina piped in, "Serena is just a little cranky today.
Please, Carrie, come and play."
        "Pretty please?" Serena repeated and clasped her hands.
        "'Kay!" Carrie chirped and wiped her eyes. She gave Serena a
quick hug.
        While Serena was apologizing to Carrie, Amy and Lita were in the
back of the group. As Amy looked around the schoolyard, her gaze fell
upon someone that seemed familiar to her. "Lita, do you know who that
is?" she asked while pointing over towards the fence.
        Lita looked over and then felt her mouth swinging open. "That's
Catsy," she finally managed to croak out, "This is not good." Amy nodded
in agreement and, taking the opportunity, slipped away while the others'
backs were turned.
        "Now that that's settled," Mina observed after Serena had
apologized and Carrie was still going to play, "We can start another
one." <Where'd Amy and Lita go?>
        Just then a new voice spoke up from behind the group, "Can I
play too?"
        Turning around, the group of girls saw a plain looking girl
standing in front of them. <I don't remember her. She must be in
Serena's class...> "Well you can't play a Scout," Mina noted, "'Cuz we
got all of them. You want to play a victim?"
        "Nope," the little girl answered.
        "No?" Carrie asked surprised, "Then who do you want to play?"
        "A DROID!!!" she shouted as a swirl of dark energy enveloped
her...
