              Lucky-Ami turned to the Bug.
            "When we get out of this," she swore through cliched teeth,
   "I'm gorg to turn that purple bunny into a Borg ! "
            "What's THAT ???" The Bunny swerved around to meet Lucky-Ami
    again.
            "Oh... nothing !" Lucky-Ami sweeting smiled.. and sweatdropped.
            'We'll see how much she likes TAKING orders as opposed to
GIVING
    them !' Lucky-Ami telepathically told Bug.
            "Now, hold on, Lucky-Ami ! Calm down." Bug drawled with a grin.

   "She's just worried about her Chibi ! I'm surprised she hasn't heaved 
    anything up, yet !   Wheh I picked her mind when we were getting ready 
    to leave ... and I found out aboput her cat-napping plan... I learned
how 
    much she actually CARES for le fiofella [ 1], more than even she knew !
           "So, save the Borg-virus for the idiot who sent that buzzard !
And 
    read up on the best way to prepare vulture. We're having that bird for 
    Sunday Dinner !"
           "You know ?" Bug grinned, "I've be thinking ! If we get out of
this alive...
    I'm thinking of adopting that rabbit !"
           "You realize, of course," Lucky-Ami said, "we'll have to adopt
them 
    both - LeloniBunny AND ChibiSnapdragon !"
           "True." Bug noted. "I wonder how they'll adjust to a Chibiousan
father 
    and an Amichanian mother ?"
        
>She spun back

> 	"Who died and made her Neo-Queen?" Chibiusa scowled.  However,

> 	"Jupiter Crystal Power MAKE UP!"
> 	"Moon Crystal Power MAKE....UP!"
> 	Leloni jumped into the van and started shaking Usagi. "WAKE
> UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" she screamed.
> 	"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Usagi shot up.  She panted feverishly,
> "Why'd you wake me?  I was having a nice dream about me and
> Mamo-chan," she whined. 
> 	"Quit whining and transform," Leloni ordered.
> 	Usagi took the defensive, "Why should I?  After all, *I'M* a

> 	An electric fire flashed in the rabbit's eyes, "Now, you
> listen to me and you listen *GOOD*.  I don't give a flying bad word I
> won't say WHAT *you* are.  You happen to be a senshi, a protector of

> innocent.  I need your help to save her."
> 	Usagi hmphed, "Why?  She's a Makochanian.  She's not my
> responsibility."
> 	She gulped as soon as she said this.  Leloni looked like she

> 	Without a word, Leloni hopped out of the van.  Sighing, she
> reached into a small pocket in her fur.
> 	"I hate doing this.  But, this time I think it's necessary."
> 	She pulled out a mini flame thrower and handed it to Sailor
> Jupiter.  The electric senshi looked at it, "What's this for?"
> 	"So I can imitate Mars's Fire Soul," Leloni replied.  She
> suddenly went into a spin, becoming nothing more then a lavender blur.
> Seconds later, she reappeared dressed as Sailor Mars.
> 	"Leloni!" Jupiter gasped.  Her young follower bowed before
> her.  Lucky-Ami was quick to shield Bug's eyes from the skirt peek.
> 	"Jupiter-sama, I'm sorry.  I have to do this. We can get
> Snappy back easier if we can psych him out.  I have a feeling that

> 	The rabbit took the mini-flame thrower from Jupiter and afixed

> 	"But, why Mars?"
> 	Leloni grinned, brushing aside some stray black hairs on the

> 	"Well," began Artemis as he got back up, "Since you guys seem

> 	"Coming with us," Leloni interrupted, picking the cat up.  She
> put him in a large cat carrying case.
> 	"Wha?" stuttered the cat, "But, you said..."
> 	Leloni looked at him, "Yeah, I know what I said.  But I

> So, sit back and enjoy the ride, kitty."
> 	"Kitty?" scuffed Artemis, indignently.
> 	"Are you ready?" the rabbit asked her patron senshi.  Sailor
> Jupiter nodded.  The two turned to look at the rest of the group.
> 	"You guys don't have to come if you don't want to.  After all,

> 	Jupiter and Leloni stood silently, awaiting the group's

           "Chibusa ?" Usagi commanded, "Get moving ! We haven't
   got all day !!"
           "Oui, Mon Capitan !" Chibiusa snapped to attention and 
   opened the door to the van. "Everybody in the Hippie Van !" She 
   sang out. "We'll make better time that way !"
           "But .." the Bunny started to protest, "they've gone off-road !"
           "Doesn't matter !" Bug said.. and calmly tossed his cloak 
   over the front of the van.
           "But-" said a VERY confused Bunny, "how will we track 
   Snappy ?"
           "We won't," Bug grinned like a Cheshire-cat as his eyes 
   developed a golden glow, "you will !" 
           .......
           Leloni found herself in her mind, being beckoned to pass 
   though a dream-mirror.
           She stepped through.
          "Welcome to my world -" Bug sang [ 2], "won't you come 
   on in- miracles I guess- still happen now and then..
          "Welcome to Bug's Place !" The Buggy One smiled.
  "Mine's a better Espionage and Sabotauge Operation than the 
   Black Dragon [ 3} ! Using yopur feelings for the ChibiSnapdragon
   as a homing-beacon, we can track her down quickly ! And, 
   being linked as we are, we'll know when the others are in trouble !"
         "I'm not sure I like that idea.." The Bunny thought, "my mins 
   is my own, and I prefer it to stay that way !"
         "Don't worry," Lucky-Ami reassured Leloni. "This isn't mind-
   control, just a group-knowledge !"
          This assurance was still unsettling to Leloni, but- under 
   the circumstances- she thought it best not to say much.
         "With you, Lucky-Ami, and I, Snappy will be back in the 
   van in no time ! Oh !" A though suddenly struck Bug (and the 
   others), "Here you go, Leloni !" Bug gave the Bunny a Thompson
   Sub-machinegun. "A present ... just in case a stubborn emeny 
   isn't scared by fire !"
          All three exited the shared mind.
          ................

         Everybody entered the Hippie-Van from Heck (with Bug 
   shielding his eyes and being lead- Guidedog-style- by Lucky-
   Ami).
        "OK, mom !" Chibiusa said. "Everybody's in the van.
   GUN IT !"
         Usagi floored the gas-pedal. The van shot into the cloak. 
   And Bug grabbed the cloak as they roared through.
