"Hi Mom," I called as I walked into the house.
"Hi sweetie," she called and then spotted Luna lurking behind my ankles. "Hi Crescent-Moon Bald-Spotted Kitty... YIKES!" she added as Luna jumped for her face, claws out.
"Mom..." I sighed, snaring Luna out of the air about an inch short of my new mother's upraised hands. "You know that she reacts like this time anytime you call her that." I paused fractionally and then grinned saucily. "There are many much less painful ways to get Daddy to kiss your face better."
"Bunny!" she gasped, laughing despite scandalised expression as I escaped upstairs, with Luna in stealthy pursuit.
"So," I asked, once my bedroom door was closed behind the two of us. "Is there any particular reason you're still here?" Or don't you have anywhere else to go?" She looked a little miffed at that and I reviewed my words. Oops - that hadn't come out quite the way I meant it. "It's not that you aren't welcome, but shouldn't you be out looking for this 'team' you say I've lost?"
"Oh, I am," Luna said. "But you're still a brand new Champion of Justice. There's still tons to teach you before another enemy appears."
Great. Just what I needed: a live-in Watcher. Does she think I've not read the 'If I Ever Become a Magical Girl' list off the internet or something? Although I suppose, I'm not sure if that had been written back when I was the Vampire Slayer - and I'm further back in time now! Honestly, I'm beginning to feel like Austin Powers, only with better teeth and hair.
I began to unpack my evening's homework. Hell has nothing that I fear in comparison to the distinct possibility that I may be destined to spend the rest of by existence timesharing between schoolwork and world savage. "Right... so these enemies... tell me about them."
"They aren't human."
"Luna, it's spelt b-l-o-n-d-e... not b-l-i-n-d."
Luna looked as abashed as a cat can manage, which isn't very. "My apologies, Bunny. They're evil - things that shouldn't exist in our world. We've got to find your fellow warriors! Then we must find and protect the Princess."
"Or we could find the Princess and then protect her while we look for rest of the team?" I suggested.
"I don't see what difference that would make," Luna said, huffily.
"You're the one who keeps saying warriors first and only then the Princess," I pointed out. "I was just wondering if there was a significance to the order?"
"Humph," Luna sniffed. "In any event, I think that I have located the second Sailor Scout."
