Introduction:
A thousand years ago, our moon was home to a great pony
civilization ruled by Queen Serenity. Everything was peaceful until the avail of
the evil Queen Barrel.
(Queen Barrel, a dark pony, sits behind a green orb. "HA-HA-HA!
First the moon stall be mine, then the universe!")
To conquer the moon, Queen Barrel unleashed the awesome
power of the Negahorse! Although Queen Serenity's kingdom was destroyed,
she still had a last hope-- the power of the Rainbow of Light and the Crescent
Rainbow Wand.
(A white winged unicorn gazes weakly at the silver wand and red
locket laying beside her. "This rainbow and wand are the only things that can
combat the power-- and extreme weirdness--of the Negahorse; never let our
enemies get them, or the universe is doomed! But most of all, you must
protect our dear Princess Serenity, understand?"
Two baby dragons with marks on their foreheads that are standing
next to her nod. "Yes.")
Frozen in rainbow beam crystals, the queen sent the princess
and other foals off the moon to the future planet Earth. Their memories lost to
all of them, the queen's baby dragon advisers-- Luna and Artemis-- must find
the princess, so she will at last be safe...
* * *
The whole of Paradise Estate was quiet and serene in warm early
sunlight... until...
"A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH!! I'M LATE AGAIN!!" ...that
is, it was quiet and serene right up to this time each morning. A pink earth
pony with a crescent moon and bunny symbol, her yellow mane done in two
ringed buns, raced downstairs. She paid no notice to two of the Bushwoolies
her family hired as maids, who had been trying to dress her in her blue school
uniform, legwarmers, and tail ribbon.
This pony madly trotted this way and that once she reached the
ground level. "Mother! Why didn't you wakeu mea won time?!" she attempted
gurgled angrily as one of the frazzled Bushwoolies brushed her teeth for
her.
"I did, Baby Bunny, honey! THREE times, and each time you said
you were getting up!" her mother replied.
"And you BELIEVED ME? Mom, you gotta try harder!" the pony said,
now identified as Baby Bunny. She looped her bookbag straps around her neck
and headed for the door.
"Bunny!" her mom called
"I'm late!" Bunny yelled.
"Are-rn't wou forietting fomeving, honvey?" her mom said, holding
out Bunny's lunch bag in her mouth.
"Oh... yeah..." Baby Bunny sweatdropped. She grabbed the lunch
bag and shot outside.
Baby Bunny yawned as she galloped to school as fast as her hooves
could carry her. "Why couldn't I have been born a pegasus?" she huffed. "Or
better yet, a unicorn! I bet they never have to run..."
She turned a corner, only to see a small group of newborn twins
crowded around something. The baby ponies looked a little too interested in
whatever they were playing with to be up to any good...
"Stretch out its wings..." one of them suggested.
"No, how ‘bout its tail?" another added.
"I wanta feel its tongue!" a third demanded.
"Hey, you foals get away from that baby dragon!" Bunny yelled,
rearing up. At the sight of this, the newborns ran off screaming.
Baby Bunny kneeled on the ground to check on the tiny black
dragon with a leaf stuck on its forehead. "Did those soiled foals hurt you,
draggy?"
"R-R-R-R, R-R-R, R-R-R!" the dragon growled, bearing its teeth
and breathing a blast of fire at the unsuspecting pony.
Baby Bunny sweatdropped a second time that morning, the tip of
one of her hairbuns flaming. "W-well, you seem okay... here, let's take that leaf
off." She reached down and pulled the leaf off carefully with her teeth. A
symbol glittered in the light as she did this, and little dragon did a backflip in
the air away for her.
"A rainbow crescent moon?" she asked, gazing at the strange
marking on the dragon's forehead... and then she remembered...
"A-A-A-A-A-AH! Now I'm even MORE late!!" Baby Bunny
screamed, racing off at about the speed of light. "O-o-oh, I WISH I COULD
WINK OUT!!!"
* * *
At the Sunshine Roads Junior High where she went to school, Baby
Bunny had-- as usual-- been sent to stay out in the hall during both recesses
for being late. And-- as usual-- being punished made her hungry.
"After all, I did miss breakfast," Baby Bunny whispered to herself.
She slyly looked this way and that, and opened her lunch bag. Somehow, she
had managed to stuff down four sandwiches, a soda, and half a cherry pie slice
in less than two milliseconds when...
"BUNNY, NO EATING IN THE HALL!" her teacher, Ms. Hippity-Hop,
scolded. She had been caught.
"But, Ms. H, I was hungary-y-y-y-y!!"
"Bunny, you should work on your schoolwork, not your stomach!
There's no excuse for failing!" She held out Bunny's test paper with a big red
"30%" written over the top.
"I failed?!?!"
* * *
"Aw, com'n, Bunny it's not the end of the world," Molly, a red pony
with wavy hair and a daisy as her symbol, tried to cheer up her friend.
Baby Bunny didn't even look up from where she had laid down in
the grass, covering her muzzle with her hooves in complete misery. "You don't
get it, Molly. If my mom finds out I failed AGA-A-AIN, she'll ground me, cut my
jangles, AND I wouldn't be able to go to the Perm Shoppe, and..."
"Hidy-ho!" A light blue pony with large bottle-cap glasses popped
up out of nowhere and startled the two fillies. His symbol was a computer and
computer mouse. "Hey, Bunny, how'd you do on your test?"
Bunny just groaned and started to cry.
"Oh, did I hurt you? I'm sorry. Anyway, don't worry; I didn't do
that well, either!" the pony went on.
"Get a life, Melvin, Bunny doesn't want to talk about it!" Molly
snapped.
"No, really! I studied and only got ninety-five percent; how am I
ever going to explain this to my parents?!" Melvin worried.
Molly and Bunny sweatdropped. "Do we care?" Molly said half-heartedly.
"O-O-O-O-OH, she's gonna kill me..." Baby Bunny wailed, still
fretting over what her mom would think.
"Bunny... did you hear about Sailor V last night?" Molly asked,
changing the subject.
Baby Bunny looked up. "Huh? Who's Sailor V?"
Molly gasped. "You mean, you don't know? She's just a filly like
us, and a yellow Twice-As-Fancy pegasus. She goes around and fights
crime!"
"Wow! Really?" Baby Bunny said in envy.
"Yeah, and I heard that last night she caught a stallion robbing a
bakery for jangles!" Melvin piped-up, interrupting what Molly was going to say.
Both fillies nodded. "Yeah, I can see why someone would want to
rob a bakery; they're so popular. I love ‘em!" Bunny said, drooling.
Melvin just stood back and sweatdropped.
"Oh, that reminds me! My mom's having a discount sale at the
Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe today!" Molly said.
"Discount?" Baby Bunny asked, getting a little starry-eyed.
"Yup, she's got everything on sale-- cupcakes, candy, ice
cream...!"
"ICE CREAM? I LOVE ICE CREAM!" Baby Bunny yelled, eyes totally
starry now.
"She's got all types and flavors! You gotta see it!" Molly
urged.
"Chocolate and strawberry?!"
"Oh, yeah!"
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!"
Melvin sighed and sweatdropped as the two raced off. "Hee, hee,
Bunny-- she's beautiful, but a huge ice cream addict..."
* * *
Somewhere, deep beneath the Volcano of Doom, in a place of lava,
bones, and darkness, the evil queen sat on a coach-length throne. She was a
tan-colored unicorn-pegasus mix with flame red hair. She had no symbol. Her
orange twinkle eyes sparkled coldly over the green orb staff that hovered in
front of her, suspended in the air by dark unicorn magic. "Has the Rainbow of
Light been discovered yet, Jadeite?" she asked, her voice more a command than
a question.
"No, my queen," a bodiless voice answered.
"That rainbow is the key to releasing the almighty
Negahorse!"
"Yes! Yes!" other ghostly voices chorused.
"Really, it is," the queen went on. "If the rainbow is not found
soon, I stall need energy-- a great deal of energy from the ponies of
Earth!"
"Of course, Queen Barrel," the voice said again. A cloud of blue
energy formed and a male pony appeared, kneeling before the throne. He was
sky blue in color with blue twinkle eyes and a yellow mane. His symbol was
dark flames. "As we speak, my servant is on the over side, collecting energy.
The Little Ponies are weak and gullible and will soon submit to our will!"
Queen Barrel turned her attention back to gazing into the staff's
orb. "Do not fail me, Jadeite; I need their energy!"
"Yes, my queen."
* * *
Meanwhile-- at the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe-- Molly's mom,
Sherbet, seemed all gung-ho over the really big sale. "Come on in, everyone!"
she yelled through a megaphone that four Bushwoolies were holding up for her.
All over at the tables, ponies were stuffing their faces and drinking sodas,
laughing and talking. There wasn't a couch or chair left empty in the whole
shop.
"Wow, there're so many customers today," Molly said in awe as she
and Baby Bunny trotted in.
"Boy, she sure is energetic," Baby Bunny noted, too, as Sherbet
zipped from one place to another (much to the displeasure of the Bushwoolies).
Sherbet shouted again into the megaphone. "Today, everything is
ninety-percent off! Please feel free to eat anything offered here!" However,
somewhere in her evil thoughts far from the knowledge of all the ponies
gathered there, the monster that was disguised as Sherbet chuckled. ...and
surrender your energy to the great Negahorse! For I am Rocky Road and my
delicious sweets will drain away all your energy! her inner being
added.
Unseen to all but the monster, a slow wave of energy was being
drawn out from all the eating ponies and being transferred into her "Sherbet's"
ice cream symbol.
* * *
Back in an underground room of the Volcano of Doom, Jadeite
stood in the darkness, muzzle held high toward the blue sphere of energy that
hovered in the air.
He smiled cruelly and spoke telepathically. You have done well,
Rocky Road. So much greed, so much energy! Queen Barrel will be most
pleased. See that these ponies are prepared for the triumphant arrival of the
Negahorse!
* * *
At the shop, "Sherbet" smiled after receiving this message. As
you wish, Lord Jadeite.
"Mama?" Molly called.
The monster disguised as Sherbet turned. "Oh, Molly, you're off
school!"
"This is my friend, Bunny," Molly said. "Remember her?"
Molly's "mother" smiled. "Welcome to my shop. It's a little
crowded here, but have a good time."
"Okay!" Baby Bunny said, eyeing the ice cream.
"And since you're Molly's friend, I'll even give you a special
bargain!" Sherbet laughed.
"Really? Cool!" Bunny skipped along besides Molly, her eyes going
starry again. They came to a stop in front of something that looked like a mini
skyscraper; but after looking up, up, and up to its highest level, Baby Bunny
realized it was a giant chocolate cake!
"Here, Bunny, would you like this cake?" Sherbet grinned.
"WOW! Would I...!" Baby Bunny said in awe.
"It's ten layers; for you, four jangles."
"Ten layers, four jangles?!" Molly and Baby Bunny chorused in
disbelief.
Suddenly, a big, fat hot pink pony pushed the two over and made a
mad dive for (and into) the cake. "IT'S MINE!" All at once, a huge crowd of
ponies galloped around the cake, each trying to get a piece.
Baby Bunny and Molly barely had time to crawl out from
underneath the mass of bodies to safety. "Holy smokes..." Molly breathed,
sweatdropping.
"Gee, too bad I couldn't afford it. Things are so unfair today," Baby
Bunny whined.
"Yeah, I'm kinda worried over how crazy it is in here. Where are
you going now, if you're not going to try to buy anything?" Molly asked.
"I guess I'll go home and take a nap before showing my parents my
grade," Baby Bunny sighed.
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Bunny. Be strong," Molly said, putting
her head down on her friend's shoulder.
Baby Bunny started walking home very slowly, looking down at her
test in despair. "How can I tell Mom I flunked another English test? How can I
show her this thing?!" she said, stomping on her test paper and finally giving it
a good kick up into the air...
"OW! That hurt, meatball head," a voice said behind her.
"Sorry," Baby Bunny mumbled, half turning to see a black unicorn
with a red rose symbol, whom she had apparently knocked in the face... and he
was reading her test paper!
"Thirty percent?!" he mumbled.
"ARGH!" Baby Bunny screamed, both in outrage and
embarrassment.
"You should study more, meatball head."
"O-o-oh... none of your business! Give me that!" Baby Bunny
snapped, snatching away the paper. She moped as she walked away. Who
does that guy think he is? Baby Bunny thought, and turned to get a last
look at the unicorn. Such a weird stallion.
The black unicorn stared after Baby Bunny for a long moment as
she walked away, as if trying to see something half forgotten...
* * *
The line of shops on the edge of the shopping district seemed as
ordinary as always-- until Baby Bunny saw a new poster in a video arcade
window. "Hey, it's Sailor V! She's got a video game, too?" she breathed.
The yellow pegasus stared back at Baby Bunny from the poster, and
the chains of orange hearts that covered her body seem to glitter as she reared
up; her red horseshoes, mask, and bow went along perfectly with her yellow
hair.
"I wish I could be like Sailor V; she looks so smart and pretty. I bet
she never has to take tests. Fighting bad ponies must be fun..." Baby Bunny
said, rearing up against the glass, while unknown to her a black baby dragon
watched from behind a street sign.
"Who am I kidding? I'll never be like her with grades like this!
Mom's gonna be so mad! What am I going to do-o-o? WA-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH!!" Baby Bunny
wailed, once again starting for home.
"Bunny... at last..." the baby dragon said to itself, its rainbow
crescent moon mark shining...
* * *
"So, how did you do on your English test?" Baby Bunny's mom,
Twinkler, asked as her daughter came in the front door.
"Test in English?" Baby Bunny mumbled nervously.
"Yes, you know, the one you took yesterday. Melvin got a ninety-five, I heard."
"Really? Awesome, isn't he?" Baby Bunny stomped her hoof
threateningly. That stupid big mouth! He must have told everyone!
she thought in annoyance to herself.
"Well, let me see it..."
"Um... well... you see, I... um..." Baby Bunny sighed. "Okay." She
handed the paper over to her mom.
For a spilt second, Baby Bunny could have sworn her mom's eyes
blazed like fire. "Thirty percent?!" Twinkler screamed. "You said you studied!
Since you obviously didn't... GO STUDY NOW!" Before Baby Bunny knew what
had happened, she was pushed out onto the porch, and the door closed with a
determined SLAM!
"No, Mom, please...!" Baby Bunny pleaded tearfully, but she
stopped crying when she heard someone come up behind her on the front walk
and begin to giggle...
It was a little brown boy pony, about newborn size, with a blue
teddy bear symbol. He eyed Baby Bunny, and started to laugh again. "Hehe,
got kicked out of the house to go to the library AGAIN? Gee, I wish I had a
smarter sister!"
Bunny growled dangerously at her little brother and took on an
attack stance. "Hey, don't bug me, Sammy. Sailor V kick!"
"Wa-a-ah! Mom, let me in!" Sammy wailed. The door open, and
he swiftly dashed inside.
"HUH? A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH!" Bunny exclaimed as her kick
missed its mark, her front legs slipped, and she fell head-over-hooves down
the porch steps. "OW-W-W! WA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH!"
* * *
At the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe, ponies had stopped eating and
were suddenly clinging to the tables for support, like slowly fading
flowers.
"This weird... me feel dizzy," a Teeny Tiny baby pony said,
collapsing to the floor.
"I feel weak..." an orange pegasus whispered, barely having the
strength to talk.
"What's wrong with everybody, Mama?" Molly asked, looking at the
fainting crowd with fearful eyes. No sound came from where her mom stood
except for a slow, evil laugh...
"Mama?" Molly whispered.
Sherbet laughed louder still, her head spinning completely around
on her neck to look at Molly. Her muzzle was horribly deformed and twisted,
with patches of gray skin.
Molly screamed.
* * *
"Ah-h-h, studying is so boring; all those books and words can't be
too good for a pony. How does Melvin do it?" Baby Bunny sighed, flopping
down on her bed. "I don't feel like doing more homework tonight. I think I'll
just have a little nap." She yawned. "At least I'm good at sleeping..." she
murmured, dozing off. Baby Bunny was so sleepy, in fact, that the creaking of a
window opening beside her didn't wake her until...
SLAM! It closed loudly, and Baby Bunny rolled over on her bed,
startled. She came muzzle-to-snout with the baby dragon with the rainbow
crescent moon on its forehead she had run into earlier that day. "ACK! You're
that little black dragon from this morning! What are you doing here?" she
gasped.
"I came to see you, Bunny," it said, in a clearly feminine voice.
"A talking dragon?! Oh, man, I thought Spike was the only one that
could do that!" Baby Bunny exclaimed, creeping further over to the side of her
bed in order to get closer to the dragon.
The little dragon cleared her throat seriously. "My name is Luna,
and I have been searching for you for a very long time. First, I want to thank
you for taking the leaf bandage off my forehead. With that thing on, I couldn't
talk, and all my powers were weakened. I couldn't get it off by myself. But
thanks to that incident, I finally found you; and now I'm certain that you are...
the Sailor Soldier of the Moon!" Luna declared.
"I must be dreaming!" Baby Bunny said, putting her front hooves
over her head and trying to will herself to sleep.
"Bunny, this isn't a dream! Wake up!" Luna said, pushing on
Bunny's head. The little pony just tilted her head back and pretended to
snore.
"Okay, then, I'll prove it to you!" Luna leaped into the air, doing a
backflip and breathing fire that mysteriously disappeared all the way through
her stunt. Suddenly, a gold locket inlaid with red, green, blue, and pink
crescent moon gemstones on a silver necklace fell onto the bed.
"What's that?" Baby Bunny asked, opening one eye.
"It's a locket, just for you," Luna said
"Wow, it's so pretty!" Baby Bunny said, grabbing it up; and in less
than two milliseconds had it around her neck and was posing in front of the
mirror... and not paying any attention to Luna.
"There are many strange things happening in... Bunny, listen!
There are strange things happening in Ponyland. The police can't do anything
about them. Bunny, you have to beat these enemies!"
Baby Bunny's ears perked up at that and she smiled. "Yeah, just
like Sailor V!"
Luna sighed. "You're the chosen one, and you must lead the other
warriors to find the princess! It is your destiny!"
"My destiny?" Baby Bunny said, still smiling.
"You still don't believe me, do you?" Luna growled.
"Um, I do... sorta..." said Baby Bunny, not wanting to be burnt to a
crisp again.
"Really? Then say this: ‘Moon Prism Power!' "
Baby Bunny gave the dragon a little salute with one hoof and
toppled over onto the floor. "Okay!" After recovering her stance, she held the
locket in her mouth and yelled, "MOON PRISM POWER!"
Pink light came down from the sky and centered in the locket. Hot
pink ribbons wrapped around Baby Bunny's body as she spun in the air slowly.
Some weaved along her neck, making a blue striped sailor collar. The ribbons
glowed brighter, and in two great blasts of light, wings grew from Baby Bunny's
back. She reared up, and her horseshoes, leg warmers, and tail ribbon turned
red. A ruby glowed on her forehead from a silver background, and another
flash formed silver crescent moon earrings. Last, two circular rubies flashed in
her hairbuns. Baby Bunny posed outside, her windy wings outstretched against
a golden moon.
"No way! I transformed?!" Bunny gasped, looking in the mirror and
trying to turn around to see her wings and symbol, the bunny part of which had
been replaced by a white star. "Cool, sparkly red horseshoes! And I'm a
pegasus, too?!" She jumped into the air happily. "We-e-e! Look, I can fly! I
can..." BAM! Baby Bunny groaned, sliding down the wall she had managed to
crash into headfirst.
Suddenly, Baby Bunny's hairpieces flashed and a frightened voice
yelled out, "Help... somebody! My mom is...!"
Baby Bunny cocked her head and listened. "That's Molly's voice.
What's going on?"
"Your friend's in big trouble. Now do you believe me about your
destiny?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, but I'm just a filly. Even if I am a pegasus now..." Baby
Bunny said, unsure of herself.
"You're now Sailor Moon. You'll know what to do when you look
into your heart. Believe in yourself!" Luna smiled.
Baby Bunny nodded. "Okay!"
* * *
"A-A-A-A-A-AH, help me! Somebody, help me!" Molly screamed,
trying to wiggle out of the monster's grasp, whose front hooves had formed
into a clawed hand that held her above the floor by the throat.
"There's no help for you now, little filly!" the monster gloated.
"Your mother is locked up in the basement and the ponies of the shop are now
ruled by the Negahorse!"
"Let go of her!" a new voice demanded.
Rocky Road turned to see a silhouetted little pegasus with blue
eyes standing in the doorway of the shop. "And who are you?"
"Um... let's see..." the pegasus mumbled. "I am Sailor Moon
champion of justice, and I say I shall right wrongs and triumph over evil! In the
name of the moon, I'll punish you!" Posing with a fancy hoof motion that went
with the speech, Sailor Moon lost her balance and fell over again. She
sweatdropped.
Rocky Road laughed. "Sailor Moon? Never heard of you, and I
never will again! Arise, my servants, and serve our great ruler!"
The giant mob of ponies rose up from the floor, eyes glowing, and
lunged at Sailor Moon. "Ack!" she screamed, dodging a kick from one pony.
"Wah!" A unicorn came close to ramming her, but pierced the wall instead. A
flutter pony, catching Sailor Moon off guard, hit her with a gust of Utter Flutter,
slamming the little pink pegasus up against a counter.
Sailor Moon groaned in pain. "O-o-o-ow-w-w! That hurt. Luna, I
don't want to play this game anymore!"
"Come on, Sailor Moon. Get up and fight! If you don't, this
universe could cease to exist!" Luna said, nearly breathing fire.
"But I don't want to be a warrior! I wanta go home! WA-A-A-A-A-AH!" Sailor Moon
cried.
"Fine, this'll finish you off!" Rocky Road laughed again, dropping
Molly to the ground and stretching a claw out toward Sailor Moon at hyper
speed. Sailor Moon froze in the middle of her crying and screamed. Suddenly,
like a red lightening bolt, a razor sharp rose flew though the air and dug into
the floor between the monster and Sailor Moon.
"Who is that?" The monster turned to see a figure in a open
window. It was a black unicorn wearing a mask, bowtie, and cape that whipped
in the wind. His symbol was a mask and top hat.
"I am Tuxedo Mask. Crying will not solve anything, Sailor Moon.
You must look inside yourself and find the warrior within. It is your destiny!"
the unicorn declared.
"That's easy for you to say... WA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH!" Sailor
Moon wailed again. Her hair pieces lit up, making her wailing louder and
shaking the whole building.
"AH! STOP THAT HIDEOUS CRYING!" Rocky Road yelled, holding
her hooves over her ears.
"Now, Sailor Moon, while she's stunned!" Tuxedo Mask instructed.
"Kick out your back hooves and say--"
"Moon Horseshoe magic!" Luna finished.
"But, Luna, what good will that do?" Sailor Moon sniffed.
"Just do it!" Luna commanded.
"MOON HORSESHOE MAGIC!" Sailor Moon turned around, kicking
off two of her sparkling red horseshoes. They turned into boomerang discs of
energy. Rocky Road screamed as the discs exploded in a flash of light.
Sailor Moon watched in wonder as the monster turned into dust
that piled at her hooves. "No way..."
* * *
The ball of light that Jadeite held suddenly disappeared. "No! The
energy... Rocky Road failed... the fool. But someone will pay for this..." he
growled.
* * *
"Splendid work, Sailor Moon. Others will test you, but do not be
afraid. I will fight with you," the black unicorn said.
Sailor Moon looked up at the sound of his voice. Tuxedo Mask
grinned, and with a final fleeing image of his cape, winked out.
"Good job, Sailor Moon," Luna said proudly.
But Sailor Moon wasn't really listening, only staring at where the
stallion had been, her eyes filled with hearts. "What a stallion..."
* * *
At school the next day, Molly and a few other ponies were talking
around Baby Bunny's desk. "I had a really great dream. A super heroine named
Sailor Moon appeared and saved me from an evil monster at the Satin Slipper
Sweet Shoppe!" Molly said happily.
"I had a dream like that, too!" Baby Blossom exclaimed.
"Me, too!" said Baby Northstar.
"That's weird. Bunny, isn't that the weirdest? Bunny?" Molly nosed
the pony curled-up in her desk seat.
Bunny opened her eyes sleepily. "Could you guys keep it down? I
missed my nap yesterday, and just need a little more sleep." She yawned.
"Goodnight."
~*~Next on Sailor Moon: "Unfeeling
Fortune"~*~
"Luna, I'll read your fortune."
"Bunny, fortune telling is fine, but don't forget your mission."
"Don't be a nag, Luna. I AM doing my job as a super
heroine!"
"Really?"
"Everybody who went to this psychic shop has been acting weird.
This could be..."
"It's a case, Bunny!"

Windy's Twins
Part 1
by Windy
Windy was lolling about in the meadow when she noticed two
Teeny Tiny Ponies standing in the grass. One was a boy, and was blue with
purple and pink mane. His symbol was a yellow sun. The other was pink with
blue and pink hair and a rain cloud symbol. The blue one had aqua eyes, and
the pink one had blue eyes.
Windy trotted up to the two so she could investigate. "Hi!" she said
to the two baby ponies.
The pink one ducked behind her brother. The blue one just
grinned and gurgled. Of course, they still talk baby talk, Windy
thought. Well, I'll take them to the nursery and find their mother. So,
she scooped up the two baby ponies and galloped off to the Lullaby
Nursery.
"Whose babies are these?" Windy asked Heart Throb, who was
behind the front desk in the nursery. "I found them in the meadow, and they
looked lost."
"Hmm... let me go ask around," said Heart Throb with a curious
expression. She went off to ask of the mothers if anyone had lost their
twins.
Heart Throb came back to the counter and shook her head.
"Everyone says they've never seen these two babies before," she said. "But-- o-o-oh-- aren't they
cute!" She tickled the blue baby's chin, and he giggled.
"What's more, all the Baby Brothers are with their mothers; and you have a boy
with you. Do you think I should take them to the orphanage?"
"No... I think I'll take care of them myself, if that's okay..." said
Windy. The pink baby peeped out from behind her brother with one of her big,
blue eyes.
Windy quickly winked herself and the babies back to her house.
The baby brother was fascinated by the Pokèmon that Windy had loose in the
house-- especially Tsunami. The baby was interested in pulling Tsunami's tail
and whiskers. The little pink one was scared, so Windy held her on the couch
and cuddled her for a few minutes.
The babies were hungry, so Windy got some crackers and softened
them with milk. "Here you go," she said as she put a spoonful of the mushy
mixture into the pink baby's mouth. She obviously liked it. As soon as Windy
had finished feeding her, she began to feed the blue baby. He was a bit more
reluctant, but ate it nevertheless.
Then Windy decided to pick out names for the twins. She decided
to name the boy Little Outdoors, and the girl Little Raincloud. Little Outdoors
was an unusual name, but it was the only one Windy could think of.
Shy Little Raincloud wanted to take a nap, so Windy set up her cot
that she used for babysitting and put Little Raincloud in it. The baby quickly fell
asleep.
Meanwhile, Little Outdoors was clambering over the chairs on his
stubby little legs. Once or twice he fell off, but he ignored the bump and
climbed back up again.

Moondancer's Sister
Part 3
By Windy
Previously in "Moondancer's Sister"-- A visit with Moondancer's
friend, Berry Bright, is abruptly cut short as she saw her sister going back into
her house. She winks back as quickly as she can, in order to make sure
Sundancer isn't up to anything...
Moondancer winked back to her house. "Oh, I hope Sundancer
didn't get back already!" she said to herself. Then she heard a scream--
coming from her room.
She raced upstairs and flung open the door to her bedroom. There
was Sundancer, hiding underneath the covers of Moondancer's bed, and
Peanuts (her pet guinea pig) was running around his cage, trying to get out. He
scratched at his wheel and his food dish.
Moondancer surveyed the damage that Sundancer had done--
broken a mirror, spilled Moondancer's half-finished bottle of Coke, knocked
over her wooden unicorn figure-- she was mad! "Sundancer!" she roared.
"What have you been doing?! If I ever find you in my room again with Peanuts--"
She didn't finish the sentence. Sundancer screamed again. "T-th-the-there's a-a-a
m-m-ons-ter I-in t-the c-c-age!" she stuttered.
"That's just Peanuts! Now, GET OUT!!!" Moondancer yelled.
Sundancer was clearly afraid. She didn't budge-- she pretended to be
dead.
But Moondancer ignored this, and repeated, "GET OUT,
NOW!!!!!"
The other unicorn squealed in fright and darted past Moondancer
in a trice. Moondancer then went over to Peanuts. She reached into the cage
and patted him. "You're a good guinea pig. Sundancer is just scared of you.
But you're actually very cute. Okay? Here's a treat," Moondancer said to her
pet. She handed him a lettuce leaf, which he ate happily.
Then Moondancer set her Coke bottle upright on her dresser, along
with the unicorn figure; and she took the broken mirror downstairs to the
garbage. Sundancer was in her room, and Moondancer could hear her
sulking.
"That room was so nice! If she'd only get rid of that stinking little
monster in that cage.." Sundancer muttered loud enough for Moondancer to
hear.
"Hey, Sunny," said Moondancer, poking her head into Sundancer's
room. "Don't go in there again." Sundance was quiet as soon as that was
said.
* * *
The next morning, after Sundancer had gone on a tour bus around
Dream Valley, Moondancer phoned back home. Starry, her father, answered it.
"Hi, Dad," said Moondancer.
"Hi, Moondancer," said Starry.
"Well, what's--" began Moondancer, but something happened on
the phone line and she lost connection to Starry. "Darn!" she muttered. Then
she put down the phone and dialed again. There was no reply, just a buzzing
sound on the line.
Moondancer sighed angrily and put down the phone. "That was
weird!" she said aloud. "The phone never does that! It's one-way, free, fast
connection! Maybe the phone's old. Or what if Sundancer has been messing
with it..." Then she remembered that Sundancer had been talking for a long
time on the phone last night-- over three hours. "So that's it!" she realized.
Then she went off to shop.

The Merry Treat and Tabby Gossip Hour!
by Merry Treat and Tabby
Merry Treat: Hello!
Tabby: Merry Treat, why is the Sailor Moon theme song running through
my head?
Merry Treat: Because you are becoming one with the show... ~says this
like it's the most normal thing in the wold~ Oh, it feels good to moonerize
you.
Tabby: Oh! *nods* Cool!
Merry Treat: Yup!
Tabby: So, what's been going on?
Merry Treat: Hmmm... Geocities messed up my webpage. ~sniffles~
Tabby: *pats her on your shoulder* But Baby Fox is helping you get it
back, isn't she?
Merry Treat: Oh, yes! She's helped out lots! I am eternally grateful to
her.
Tabby: Tiffany has her hopes up now that Toby is buying her cheap
jewelry that he's saving up for a really expensive engagement ring.
Merry Treat: Hmm... well, Marcus did say he saw him in the jewelry store
a few days back.
Tabby: Buying from the clearance section? *snickers*
Merry Treat: He told me that Toby was looking at the prettier ones. He
was surprised that Toby wasn't cringing at the prices. ~giggles~
Tabby: Gosh. Wouldn't a Baby Tiffany be awful?
Merry Treat: Well, she would be terribly cute.
Tabby: But probably a terrible snob!
Merry Treat: Well, not if she didn't hang around her mother all day.
Tabby: *wracks brains* Hasn't anything happened?
Merry Treat: Hmmm... ~tries to think of something~ Hmmm... nope,
nothing.
Tabby: I got locked in the cooler at the church picnic.
Merry Treat: Really? Oh, you must tell!
Tabby: It was rather cold. Freezing, too.
Merry Treat: I'd imagine you'd be very cold if you were stuck in a freezer.
How long were you in there?
Tabby: Oh... half an hour or so.
Merry Treat: Yikes!
Tabby: However, Thomas and Sugarberry did come to rescue me from the
cooler, anyway.
Merry Treat: That's good! I'd of just banged on the door until somebody
came to let me out.
Tabby: That's what I did for awhile, but nobody came.
Merry Treat: Eek! I hope you didn't catch a cold while you were in
there.
Tabby: No, not quite. Not that I know of.
Merry Treat: Good.
Tabby: Mom's been writing a lot of letters to me lately.
Merry Treat: What's she saying?
Tabby: Just the usual gossip from Italy... or wherever.
Merry Treat: Cool! She's not trying to marry you off, is she?
Tabby: *wrinkles noise* Weed-o does come up every once in awhile...
Merry Treat: The weed repellent guy?
Tabby: Yep, that one. He was such a snob, MT.
Merry Treat: Ugh! What did he look like?
Tabby: I think he was yellow, but I can't quite remember. Green hair. A
weed symbol. It sure looked like a weed, at least.
Merry Treat: Weird...
Tabby: I sure hope she never invites me back to Italy.
Merry Treat: I'll go in your place! I've always wanted to go there.
Tabby: Okay, I'll keep that in mind if it ever comes up. Tamara is rumored
to have been seen in Goodwill!
Merry Treat: Tammy? In Goodwill? No way!
Tabby: She says she went there to see if she could find any My Little
People for me, but...
Merry Treat: Hmmmm... that sounds suspicious, too...
Tabby: I know what you mean. She did wear some jewelry the other night
I'd never seen before.
Merry Treat: Odd...
Tabby: When is she gonna move out and get a place of her own...
*mutters*
Merry Treat: I saw some ads in the paper advertising houses.
Tabby: Hmph! She never looks in that section of the paper! Besides, she
keeps saying she wants a brand-new one built.
Merry Treat: But there were lotsa new ones built lately! There is a lovely
one by the creek! I think she doesn't want to leave because she'd be
lonely.
Tabby: Tamara? Lonely? She's got Persian.
Merry Treat: Actually, when you went to Italy, she stopped by the center
every day for company. She kept making up excuses that Persian wasn't feeling
well, but Persian was fine.
Tabby: Besides, Tarquin would have his room back if she moved out.
Merry Treat: Yes, he would.
Tabby: Tarquin is such a good Meowth.
Merry Treat: He is very sweet.
Tabby: Tess, too.
Merry Treat: They're sweet little things.
Tabby: What'll we do if they get married, MT?
Merry Treat: I dunno if that'll make us related or not...
Tabby: But they wouldn't be ours any more!
Merry Treat: No, they wouldn't... oh, that'll be so heart-breaking! ~sobs~
Tabby: *sobs along with her*
Merry Treat: ~still wailing~
Tabby: *regains her composure* Let's just not think about it right now.
Merry Treat: ~sighs shakily~ All right... I'll try...
Tabby: Well... well... well...
Merry Treat: What?
Tabby: I hear there's going to be a millennium My Little People doll.
Merry Treat: O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh! Do tell!
Tabby: Unfortunately, Pasbro hasn't released any pictures yet.
Merry Treat: O-o-oh, I want to see it! I hope they release it soon.
Tabby: Yeah, there haven't been many new ones lately.
Merry Treat: No, there haven't. I wonder why...
Tabby: ‘Cause Pasbro is lazy.
Merry Treat: Yup, that's probably correct. ~amuses herself by messing
with her Jar Jar figure~ La de da... now I'm bored...
Tabby: Yah, me too.
Merry Treat: Hmmm... what to do... what to do...
Tabby: La... la...
Merry Treat: Ack! He keeps dropping his staff! ~bends to retrieve it after
it fell on the floor~ O-o-oh, idea!
Tabby: What's that, MT?!
Merry Treat: Tabby, tell me about some strange dreams you have had.
Tabby: Oh, um... there's ones with giant squid...
Merry Treat: Do tell.
Tabby: I'm taking a shower, and all of a sudden a squid tentacle pops out
of the drainhole.
Merry Treat: Yikes! Then what?
Tabby: And then it squirms all the way up the hole, and breaks my house
into little tiny pieces. And then wreaks havoc across Dream Valley. And that's
about it.
Merry Treat: O-o-o-oh, now I know why you hate them so much.
Tabby: Actually, I think it's because I hate them that I dream about
them...
Merry Treat: Wanna hear about some of my bizarre dreams?
Tabby: ...but then there's those awful ones with my mother and Weed-o
in... oh! What do you dream about?
Merry Treat: All right, I had this one right after I got back from that
rendezvous in August.
Tabby: Yeah, I remember when you were gone for that.
Merry Treat: I was on a camping trip, and everybody was in a large tent.
Everyone was going around looking at everyone's bed, because everyone had a
different-shaped bed and we wanted to see what they all looked like.
Tabby: O-o-oh....
Merry Treat: I think mine was a boat-type thing, I don't remember. I
know that everyone liked Jar Jar's the best. Why he was there, I haven't the
foggiest idea. That's about all I remember...
Tabby: What did Jar Jar's bed look like?
Merry Treat: I don't remember. All I know was that I was proud of him
for some reason, and then we were all outside... then I think I woke up.
Tabby: So, I keep dreaming that my mother is dragging me off to meet
Weedo...
Merry Treat: Does she ever succeed in getting you out of the house?
Tabby: Yes. And then it skips to when the jerk is proposing to me. Only
I'm unable to say anything!
Merry Treat: So do you end up marrying him, or what?
Tabby: Well, he's slipping this diamond ring towards me, and I'm
immobile, and then I wake up...
Merry Treat: Weird... but not as weird as another one I had...
Tabby: What's that?
Merry Treat: There was the one where I was in this alligator pit; and the
next thing I knew, I was a baby pony again and suddenly appeared at school. I
was looking at my calender, and for some reason, I wake up thinking I am still
in school and that it's my last week of summer vacation.
Tabby: *eyes open wide* Wow...
Merry Treat: And I wasn't sick at the time, either... I have my weirdest
dreams when I'm healthy.
Tabby: Well, those are all the strange dreams I can think of.
Merry Treat: I also had one once with talking animals... I was the only one
who could understand them... I screamed and scared two bunnies... then I
believe I woke up...
Tabby: The best part of dreams is waking up.
Merry Treat: Not always... I had one where there were all the My Little
People I could ever dream of in this store, and I woke up before I could buy any!
Tabby: Gosh, you're right; I hate ones like that. Those are the worst!
Merry Treat: Oh, yeah. All the dreams I remember have been strange and
involve something from my obsessions. So... what else has been going on
lately, Tab?
Tabby: Baby Noddins failed her test in science last week.
Merry Treat: That stinks.
Tabby: Supposedly, she didn't study because she had stayed up the
previous night playing with her Furby.
Merry Treat: Ah, well, that's a good enough reason. ~winks~
Tabby: Gosh, I'd rather play with a Furby than study.
Merry Treat: Me, too.
Tabby: I don't believe Miss Hackney fairly judged her.
Merry Treat: Me neither. So... hmmm... what to talk about...
Tabby: La de da...
Merry Treat: Let's just call this to a close and go to the Satin Slipper
Sweet Shoppe.
Tabby: That's exactly what I was just thinkin'!
Merry Treat: Oke-day! See ya later, everybody!! ~waves~
Tabby: Tune back in next month!

Merry Treat's New Pokèmon
by Merry Treat
"Are you guys ready yet?!" Merry Treat called from inside the
kitchen.
"Almost! We just gotta fold the blanket!" Tess called from the
hallway.
Where is the blanket?! Spearow asked in his own special
language.
The three of them-- Merry Treat, Tess, and Spearow-- were going
on a picnic in the woods. Merry Treat was just finishing packing the basket.
She placed one last apple in and latched the top. "The blanket should be in the
hallway closet!" Merry Treat told her two Pokèmon.
A few moments later, the trio was on the way. "I know of the most
beautiful place to have our picnic!" Tess bubbled with excitement as they
headed off down the path.
Great! Where is it? Spearow chattered in the same excited
tone.
"Near the river. Come on!" Tess exclaimed and hurried her two
friends along.
"Race ya!" Merry Treat said mischievously, and took off down the
dirt path.
"O-o-o-oh, you made a big mistake there, MT! I'm gonna get
you!" Tess cried joyfully and raced after the white pony.
I'll beat you both! Spearow grinned and took to the
air.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Merry Treat cried and galloped faster. She
suddenly saw something pink right in her path...
Look out! There's an injured Mew there! Spearow
screeched suddenly.
Merry Treat skidded to a stop about three inches away from the
injured Pokèmon. "Thanks for the warning!" she called to her Pokèmon. Then
she turned to examine the Mew.
Thank you for not stepping on me, the Mew said gratefully
to the pony.
"It's all right. What happened?" Merry Treat asked. She had a
special touch and could understand all the Pokèmon she met.
I was trying to practice my attacks, the Mew started
explaining, when one of them backfired and bounced off the tree I was
aiming at, and it hit me instead.
Merry Treat glanced over the small creature. "Hmmm... nothing
seems to be severely damaged. Why don't we take you to the Pokèmon Center
to get you looked at?"
The Mew nodded energetically. Oh, yes! Yes, please! That is, if
you wouldn't mind...
"Of course not! You need a doctor!" Tess exclaimed as she and
Spearow came up next to their trainer.
And don't worry about being bored when you get there. Merry
Treat is very good friends with the nurse, Spearow added.
"Exactly! I'm sure Tabby will take good care of you," Merry Treat
said with a grin and scooped up the small Pokèmon. "I'm Merry Treat. That's
Spearow and Tess. What's your name?"
I'm Catalina, the Mew introduced herself. How far
away is the Pokèmon Center?
"It's not far. We should be there in about twenty minutes," Tess
answered.
Sooner than they expected, the four arrived at the center. "Let's
get you inside," Merry Treat said and pushed the three Pokèmon through the
front door. "Tabby? Are you here?" She glanced around the room and saw
Tabby at her desk looking over Patch's Growlith.
"Hey, MT!" Tabby glanced up for a moment to greet her friend.
Then she turned her gaze back to the Growlith.
"Hello, Merry Treat!" Patch exclaimed. "Growlith ate too much and
got himself sick," she explained.
"Well, that isn't good! Is he all right?" Merry Treat came up to the
counter and set Catalina next to the ill Growlith.
"He'll be fine. Just give him some of this juice every night for three
days before you go to bed," Tabby instructed and handed a small vile of green
medicine to the younger pony.
"Thanks, Tabby!" Patch grinned. "Growlith, return!" she said as she
took out her PokèBall. The dog-like Pokèmon disappeared in a flash of light.
"See you guys later!" she called as she exited the building.
Tabby turned to Merry Treat. "So, MT! When did you get a
Mew?"
"She's not mine, actually. I don't know who she belongs to. I
found her beside the road injured," Merry Treat explained.
Tabby glanced over the Mew. "She has some bruises. I'll give her
some medicine." She hunted around in a drawer for a couple minutes. "Tarkie,
did you see where I put that stuff?" she said in a muffled voice from inside the
drawer.
"It's right here!" Tarquin, Tabby's Meowth, said and tossed the
bottle to his trainer.
