"Hey Ami! Wait up!" Usagi yelled as she ran after Ami.

She turned around and smiled as Serena sprinted ater her. Huffing, Serena finally caught up.

"What's the rush Usagi?" Ami asked curiously, "I was on my way to cram school."

"It's Rini," she responded, "she left a note saying that she was going back home. But, she couldn't have left. I still can feel her presence, and mom and dad still remember her. I would have contacted you via the communicator, but i lost it. Can i borrow yours?"

"Sure," Ami responded, "but can i see the note." "Sure," she said, passing her the note and grabbing for her communicator. While Usagi quickly let the scouts and Mamoru know about Rini, Ami scanned the note.

"We've got to get her back! Ja ne!" Usagi yelled as she clicked off Ami's communicator. "C'mon, we have to go to Rei's temple!"

(In front of Raye's Temple)

"What are we going to do! She's gone and it's all my fault! Ooooo, i should have seen this earlier!"

"Usagi," Rei said softly, "don't talk like that! It's no one's fault. As soon as Mamo-chan gets here, we'll break into groups. We'll find her, you'll see." At that moment, Mamoru appeared. "Any word from Rini?" he asked worriedly.

"No word. Now, this is what's going to happen," Luna said, taking control of the situation, "We'll break into three groups. Minako, Artemis, and Ami, you go to all of Rini's hangouts." With a nod and a wave, the three took off. Then Luna turned tworards the rest. "Makoto, Rei, go check any wayside places where she might be taking off from." "Gotcha," they choursed, taking off. Then Luna looked at Usagi and Mamoru, "Now, you two are going to think of all the special places you've taken her. Think hard now."

Usagi and Mamoru looked at each other. She smiled hopefully, but he just looked away. "What about the park, by the river?" he asked.

"GREAT!" Luna proclaimed, "let's go."

"I have my motorcycle parked at the bottom of the hill. That'll be faster." he said, taking off after Luna. Usagi scrambled to catch up, her mind ablazed with thoughts. "He's still so cold to me. What could I have done wrong?" Out loud, she asked, "What would her world be like now? Is it ready for her yet?"

"I don't know, but hopefully Sailor Pluto will stop her from continuting." They had reached the motorcycle. Mamoru hopped on while Luna jumped into Usagi's waiting arms. She carefully climbed on and fastened on the helmet Mamoru passed to her. With one arm on Luna and the other griping his waist, they took off twords the park. "If only," Usagi thought, "if only things could be like this again."

They reached the the park with a squeal of his tires. He got off and helped Usagi and Luna off. After they cecured their helmets they took off quickly tworads the river. It was a short, quiet walk to the spot where they had picnics with her. Out of all the places, that was probally the most special. Usagi looked at Mamoru, wishing he would say what he was thinking, to smile at her, give her a hug and tell her everything was alright. Even though she often blamed Chibiusa for this, Usagi couldn't quite blame her, not right now at least. She was just a little girl.

They finally reached the small ridge by the river. Under it was their picnic spot. Usagi raced down and dropped down by a pink teacup, belonging to Rini. "Oh, Chibiusa! Your still here, I can feel you!" she said, becoming louder with each word till she shouted, "Don't leave!" and raced into the woods.

"What, huh? How do you...?"she heard them yell as they raced after her, but she was to intent on finding her. She was near, she knew it! She just didn't know how she knew it, but the feeling was strong. Finally, she reached a clearing, and crouched in the middle was Chibiusa. She glanced up as she heard Usagi coming through the brush, jumped up, clutching the Moon Key. Sensing the others behind her, she yelled, "STOP RINI!" and together they all jumped out and were blinded by the bright light eminating from the key...
