Ch. 5 Where's my mommy? "Mommy, can I have some cherry pie?" asked a 7 year old Lita. "Of course, honey. Here you go." Lita started eating. Then, her pie slowly turned into mold. Then her pie started to attack her. "AHH!" Lita woke up. "that was scary." She said to herself. She went to the kitchen to greet her mom. But she didn't find her. "Mommy?" Lita asked. No response. Lita went to call her friend Kaylea. She dialed the number. Then the voice mail spoke up. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not valid. Please hang up..." Lita hung up. "And try your call again!" Lita finished. She pouted. Then her doorbell rang. Lita answered it. "Hello?" Lita asked. "Hi, Lita! It's me Mina. Your friend. I'm... uh... I wanna come over for a while." Mina said. Treating one of her friends like an 8 year old wasn't easy. "Who are you? I don't know you. Go away!" Lita said. "But... Why? I'm your friend!" Mina exclaimed. "My mommy said never to talk to strangers!" Lita said. Then she slammed the door. Mina, on the other side, just stood in front of Lita's door, confused. She didn't know why the others had to be so busy. Then Serena came. "I'm on my way to the market, so I decided to stop by." Serena said. Then she noticed that Mina wasn't trying to get in. Mina knew what Serena was thinking. "She's calling me a stranger. She won't let me in." Mina explained. "No problemo!" Serena said. She knocked on the door. Lita answered. "Hi, Serena!" Lita was happy. "Hi, Lita! I forgot to tell you your parents had to go somewhere... and... they asked me to baby-sit you, but I'm really busy today, so I asked my nice friend Mina to do it for me!" Serena tried to explain. "How long will my parents be gone?" Lita asked. "Oh,... a few days," Serena said. 'until the real Lita comes back, that is!" Serena thought. "Okay, Lita! Let's, um... have some fun!" Mina said, unsure of herself. "Well, I gotta go now!" Serena said. "Have... fun, Mina!" Serena told Mina. Mina got mad. "Oh, gee, thanks, Serena!" Mina growled. "We'll have so much fun, together, Mina!" Lita exclaimed. "Sorry for closing the door on you. I didn't know you were my baby sitter!" Lita said. They went in the room. 'This is gonna be a long day!' Mina thought. Lita got out her good clothes. "Let's play dressup and pretend we're princesses!" Lita said as she handed Mina one of her dresses. When they got in the dresses, Lita got out her dolls. 'this is embarrassing...' Mina thought. Even though no one could see them, she still felt pretty embarrassed. "Let's play dolls, Mina!" Then the doorbell rang. Mina forgot she was wearing the dress that she has on. Lita followed her, then sat on the ground in her living room. It was Locke. "Hi! May I help you?" Mina asked. "Uh... yes, I guess..." Locke started to study Mina's clothes, which were loose. Mina noticed him looking at her. Mina got embarrassed. "Oh... you must be looking for Lita,... huh? Lita! Don't do that!" Lita was starting to pull off one of her doll's heads off. Locke looked at her. "Aww. You look so cute, Lita!" Locke didn't know what happened to Lita yet. Lita was sitting on the ground, looking innocent and with those dresses on, which gave her a very adorable look. "Mina, whose that? Is that your boyfriend?" Lita asked. Mina got embarrassed. Before she could say anything, Lita started to tease Mina. "Mina has a boyfriend! Mina has a boyfriend!" Lita exclaimed. "What's wrong with her?" Locke asked. Mina told him what happened. Locke was surprised. "So now, she's a little kid?" Locke asked. Mina nodded. "I'll leave, now... tell me when Lita is better!" Locke said. He didn't want to end up in a dress. Mina closed the door. They went back in Lita's bedroom. Then Mina suggested that she'd get some cookies. Mina left the room. Then Lita saw something near the window. It was a funny looking pink mouse. "Come with me, Lita, and you can have lots of cookies!" Lita started to climb out the window. "It's easier now," Fiona said. She found out that Lita was in the mind of a little girl. Muron had told her earlier that it should be time to bring her to their place so they can start on destroying the world. 'Now you will pay, Lita. you can't imagine the pain you'll feel!' Fiona thought as she grinned. Lita was almost out the window. Mina came back in the room. "No! Lita, don't go there!" Mina dropped the cookies and went after Lita. She pulled Lita up, shut the window and locked it. "Don't do that ever again." Mina breathed. It was hard getting Lita back in because of her weight. Lita apologized. "Sorry Mina, but there's a mouse that said I can have all the cookies I want!" Lita explained. "But, Lita, you can never run out of cookies here!" Mina said. Later on at around 8 o'clock, Mina went to put Lita in bed. "Ok, you have to go to sleep now, because we're, uh, going somewhere, tomorrow morning." Mina said. Lita nodded. "Will you read me a story?" Lita asked. "I never go to bed without a story." Mina went and got a book. She read the whole story, but then she got sleepy. She fell asleep. Lita had been asleep since halfway of the story. Later that night, Lita woke up to go to the bathroom. She had forgotten to clean up her mess. Lita slipped on one of her toys, and fell, hitting her head on the edge of her drawer without shouting or yelling. In the morning, Lita woke up. "What? Where am I?" Lita asked. She got up. "Why is my room a mess?" Then she saw Mina sleeping on her desk chair, drooling on her book. Lita was confused. Lita decided to clean up later and cook breakfast first. Mina woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. She noticed Lita was up. She made her way to the kitchen. "Lita! What are you doing?! You could burn yourself!" Mina exclaimed. Lita turned around. "Mina, why are you so paranoid? You know I'm a good cook, and I'd never burn myself." Lita said. Mina just stood there. She hadn't noticed that Lita put some ice on her head. "And, Mina, I'd like you to explain the mess and my good clothes really dirty and why you were beside my bed holding a storybook?" Lita asked. Mina just stood some more. "Uhh, It's... a... long story," Mina said. Later, after they got the place clean, Mina explained. "Did I ever hit my head? It's killing me!" Lita complained. Mina then noticed the bag of cold water, which used to be ice. "You must've hit your head overnight," Mina said. "No wonder why I was sleeping on the floor!" Lita said. But then Lita realized something. "Miiiinnnaaa!" Lita complained. Mina looked at Lita. "What's wrong, Lita?" Mina asked worriedly. "I am going completely nuts, you know! Absolutely crazy!" Lita said. "Lita! You're not going crazy. Do you remember when the lights went out on your birthday party? You hit your head really hard, and got some sort of amnesia. That's all!" Mina explained. "But, Mina, what about last week when I protected that Nega toad? I was going crazy then, and I'm going crazy now!" Lita complained more. "Lita, that was TWO WEEKS AGO! Mina yelled. Then their communicators went off. "Major attack! Harrison Lake, on the double!" Raye yelled. Mina and Lita then went off. "This is getting tiring," Mars complained. She was running from a huge fireball after her. Then she heard something. "Shine, Aqua Illusion!" Mercury yelled. The fireball went out. "Good! You're here!" Mars exclaimed. Everyone was there. Even Jupiter. "I'm back!" she said. Then Fiona came. "Oh, dear, It's the Sailor Scraps!" Fiona said sarcastically. "Oooo, I'm scared!" "Yo, miss Nega toad! You have tortured Tokyo long enough! In the name of the..." Sailor Moon started. "Do you have to say the same thing over and over again?" Fiona complained. "It's getting really boring!" Fiona started her power and tried to hit Chibi Moon. But she jumped out of the way. "That's it!" Sailor Moon said. She started her sceptor. Then Jupiter stopped her. "Wait, Sailor Moon. She looks like... like..." Then Jupiter realized something. "Mother?" Jupiter asked. She wasn't seeing Fiona. An image of her mother appeared blocking her view from Fiona. "What did you say?" Mercury asked. Then the image Jupiter saw went away. "Oh, sorry. It's... I..." Jupiter started. Sailor Moon put her hand on Jupiter's shoulder. "Hey, it's okay! We understand!" Sailor Moon said. Then Sailor Moon started her sceptor while Venus quickly wrapped Fiona up in her Love Chain. Sailor Moon zapped Fiona. Fiona screamed. "You haven't seen the last of me!" She screamed as she went back to her place. Then completely disappeared. "Yeah! She's gone!" Sailor Moon yelled. Meanwhile, Muron looked through his mirror, looking at Sailor Jupiter. He felt she had something that he needed. He looked through Jupiter's body, and saw the heart diamond. "Wha... what? There can't be two! That's impossible!" Then he realized something. 'Lita is Sailor Jupiter! How nice! Well, I could just use Locke as bait and lure her here!' he thought. Things weren't going so bad after all.
