Usagi slumped her way up the steps towards the Hikawa Shrine… and she was only doing that because Chibiusa was practically dragging her up said steps.
"Come on, Usagi! You can't fall back asleep so soon!" Chibiusa said.
"Alright, alright, Chibiusa! Ugh… lay off, will you? I only got, like, 2 hours of sleep." Usagi said.
"I know, I was there! Your tossing and turning and grunting woke me up a few times! But that won't be as bad as when Rei brains you for being late for your studying session!" Chibiusa shouted.
"Oy… I wish high school was less about cramming!" Usagi said as she rapidly blinked her eyes.

When the two finally made it atop the steps, they looked to see four of their fellow friends and Sailor Senshi (Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako) all looking kinda lazy themselves. They slowly sat up as they saw Usagi and Chibiusa arrive.
"*yawwwwwwn* Hey, Usagi." Makoto said. Usagi, even in her tired state, looked puzzled. She expected Rei and maybe Ami to chastise her for arriving late, as usual, for their study session.
"Oooooookay… usually I'm the one that's sleepy and not all five of us." Usagi said.
"I don't think any of us got much sleep." Ami said.
"We all had nightmares last night. Just like the night before that, and the night before that…" Minako said.
"Huh? Usagi's been like that too! For almost 4 nights in a row, she's barely gotten any sleep." Chibiusa said.
"Weird. How can all of us be having nightmares that keep us awake?" Makoto asked.
"You know what's even weirder? I try to remember what these nightmares are all about… but I can't remember." Rei said.
"Hmmm… same here. *yawwwwwn* It's like a block goes up in my brain." Ami said.
"You don't suppose it's a new evil force we're dealing with, do you?" Usagi asked.
"Oy… I hope not. Sailor Galaxia was one mean nut. When she was under a cloud of darkness, that is." Makoto said.
"With a name like Sailor Galaxia, I'm surprised she wasn't like that Galactus guy and ate entire planets." Rei said. All the other girls, including Chibiusa, gave a funny look over at Rei.
"Ugh… sorry. I think strange things when I'm groggy." Rei said.
"Look, let's just try and get our studies in before one of us falls to the ground." Ami said.
"Okay…" all the other girls minus Chibiusa muttered.
"Teehee… while you all fight to stay awake, I'll help rake some of the fallen leaves!" Chibiusa said.
"Thanks, Chibiusa." Rei said as Chibiusa ran inside the shrine to change into a shrine maiden.

Meanwhile, at Tomoe Mansion, it was just as awkward a situation as at the Hikawa Shrine. Hotaru came downstairs from her bedroom, only to see Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna all struggling to stay awake. Setsuna looked like she was struggling to stand up straight as she tried making dinner.
"Auntie Setsuna? You look like you're about to fall asleep already." Hotaru said.
"*yawwwwwn* I'm sorry, Hotaru. I've barely gotten any sleep the past few nights due to these nightmares." Setsuna said.
"I guess now is a bad time to ask if you could help me build another papercraft city for Chibiusa." Hotaru said.
"So you two can go fee fi fo fum all over it, right?" Setsuna said.
"Teehee… yep!" Hotaru said. Setsuna lightly patted the roughly 10-11 year old girl (in appearance anyway) on the head.
"Maybe some other time." Setsuna said. The two suddenly looked over at Haruka and Michiru as Haruka suddenly got up from the couch.
"Ugh… do you mind keeping your stinky foot off my face!?" Haruka said.
"Well, sorry! I'm barely able to control myself because of how tired I am!" Michiru said.
"Well, it wouldn't kill you to roll out of the bed!" Haruka shouted.
"Don't you mean couch, Hayao Nakayama!?" Michiru said.
"Ugh! At least use a racer's name if you're going to insult me!" Haruka said as she marched out of the mansion.
"Where are you going!?" Michiru shouted. Hotaru could clearly see Michiru's bloodshot eyes from where she was standing as a result of her being angry and not getting much sleep.
"To blow off some steam! What else!?" Haruka said. Michiru just rolled her eyes and dropped back onto the couch to sleep. As she did so…
"Diva." Michiru said.

Hotaru gasped as she heard Michiru mutter that word.
"Oh my… it's not like Auntie Michiru to use such language." Hotaru said.
"People do crazy things when they're not thinking straight… OR sleeping enough." Setsuna said as she shook her head trying to stay awake.
"Will you excuse me, Auntie Setsuna?" Hotaru said as she walked back towards the staircase.
"Fine. Just be back down here in time for breakfast… I mean, dinner… oy, good thing I'm not on Space-Time Door duty." Setsuna said. Once Hotaru made it back upstairs, she looked down at her wristwatch and tapped a few buttons, waiting for who she was expecting to answer the call.

Back at Hikawa Shrine, Chibiusa watched as the five inner senshi struggled to stay awake. She looked deeply worried, but kept sweeping the fallen leaves anyway. She had to stop, though, when she heard her wristwatch start beeping. Of course, she recognized it as the communicator she and the other senshi used to talk with each other. Chibiusa pressed a button and saw Hotaru's face on the screen.
"Oh! Hi, Hotaru!" Chibiusa said.
"Hey, Chibiusa! How have you been?" Hotaru asked.
"Teehee… just fine! I'm looking forward to this weekend when we pretend to stomp all around another city." Chibiusa said.
"Yeah, me too, but…" Hotaru said.
"Huh? What's wrong, Hotaru?" Chibiusa said.
"Chibiusa. Have you noticed anything strange about Usagi and her friends? Like Ami? Rei?" Hotaru asked.
"Hmmmm… come to think of it, they have been having trouble falling asleep. Something about having nightmares that keeps them up at night." Chibiusa said.
"*gasp* That's strange. Aunties Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna have been acting like that the past 4 days." Hotaru said. This, obviously, raised Chibiusa's eyebrows.
"This can't possibly be a coincidence." Chibiusa said.
"I agree. You don't suppose it's another evil being trying to invade our dreams again, is it?" Hotaru said.
"I don't know. What can we do about it?" Chibiusa asked. Hotaru quickly smiled and snapped her fingers.
"How about another sleepover!?" Hotaru said.
"Oh? A sleepover?" Chibiusa asked.
"Sure! Here at Tomoe Mansion. Maybe by sleeping together, it will make them dream better." Hotaru said.
"Great idea! I'll let everyone know." Chibiusa said.
"And I'll do the same here. Well… once Haruka comes back from blowing off steam." Hotaru said.
"Okay! See you tonight, Hotaru!" Chibiusa said as she waved her friend goodbye and the screen on her watch shut off. Chibiusa dropped her rake and went to the other senshi to deliver the news.

Later that night, the girls were standing at the front door of Tomoe Mansion. Quickly after Usagi knocked on it, the door opened up with Hotaru on the other side.
"Hi everyone! Welcome back to Tomoe Mansion!" Hotaru said as she and Chibiusa shared a quick hug since they were such good friends.
"Thanks for having us, Hotaru." Usagi said with a smile.
"Yeah. It's amazing how lenient your father is with these slumber parties." Makoto said.
"Heh, you can say the same about Auntie Setsuna and the others." Hotaru said as she led the inner senshi inside, where they saw Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru already in their pajamas.
"Oh? Haruka and Michiru are back together? Chibiusa told us you two had a bit of a fight." Minako said.
"Yeah, but we're together again." Haruka said.
"Just like any other couple, we kiss and make up. And understand each other." Michiru said as the two shared a quick hug.

All the girls spent the next couple hours playing around or talking with each other about random topics. Amazingly enough, being big or small was not among them. While they were still talking, Hotaru and Chibiusa met in one of the bathrooms to discuss their plan of attack tonight.
"So, Chibiusa… if the other girls are still having nightmares, what will we do then?" Hotaru asked.
"Teehee… I brought one of my inventions to help us with that. Well, one of mine and future Ami's inventions, to be precise." Chibiusa said. She briefly left and then returned with a briefcase, opening it up and pulling out a small piece of machinery.
"Oh! That's…" Hotaru said.
"Yep! The Dream Projector. Just point it at someone and you can see into their dreams through the monitor. With a slight power adjustment, you can even jump into their dreams." Chibiusa said.
"Ah, yes. Kinda like jumping from one time period to another." Hotaru said.
"Teehee… yep! But don't tell Setsuna that." Chibiusa said. Hotaru nodded.
"Anyway, if we need to, we'll jump in and turn the tide of the nightmare and make it a lovely dream worth talking about." Chibiusa said.
"I kinda like that. It's like we're Dream Senshi." Hotaru said.
"I couldn't agree more!" Chibiusa said as she stored the Dream Projector into the briefcase once more.
Eventually, all the girls tucked themselves into their beds, whether it were the regular beds or makeshift beds, but the important thing was everyone was in the same room.
"Good night, everyone! Sweet dreams!" Chibiusa shouted.
"Yeah. We wish…" Rei grumbled as the lights went out and the girls went to sleep.

It only took an hour for trouble to arise.

Chibiusa and Hotaru were awaken by the uncomfortable moans and groans from the other girls. As Chibiusa reached over and turned on one of the night lights, she and Hotaru saw the extreme looks of discomfort on all the other girls as they tossed and turned.
"Oh my! I think it's worse than last night!" Hotaru said.
"This has to be the work of some evil being." Chibiusa said.
"Yes… but who?" Hotaru asked.
"We can't worry about that now! We have to get inside our friends' heads and save their dreams!" Chibiusa said. Hotaru nodded and the two girls got to work setting up the Dream Projector. Once Chibiusa turned it on, she aimed the scope at Usagi's head. She and Hotaru waited patiently for Usagi's nightmare to display on the monitor…

Usagi walked around the empty streets of somewhere in Tokyo. The skies looked cloudy, which told her something bad was brewing.
"Hello? Somebody? Anybody?" Usagi said. Just then, however, she felt the ground thump every second or so. She recognized what these quick shakes and booming sounds meant.
"Oh no… don't tell me Chibiusa grew again." Usagi said. However, she lightly gasped when she saw it wasn't Chibiusa who grew. Walking around one of the buildings was a gigantic Rei. She was dressed as Sailor Mars and towering over Usagi (but alongside the nearby buildings) at over 120 feet tall.
"There you are, meatball head! Or should I say meatball insect!?" Rei shouted.
"What!? Rei? How did you get so big!?" Usagi said.
"It's all thanks to your incompetence!" Rei said.
"What!? Me!?" Usagi said. She suddenly heard more thumping and the ground shaking, even though Rei wasn't moving. So she turned around and gasped. Here came two more of her friends and teammates… also gigantic and not looking happy. They were Minako and Makoto.
"Yeah, Usagi. It's because of you I've spent more time fighting monsters than chasing boyfriends!" Makoto said.
"Your mother, Queen Serenity, would be ashamed of you!" Minako said. Usagi gasped again and turned into an alley, hoping to give the three giantesses the slip.

When she made it out the other side, she looked back to see her giant teammates weren't giving chase.
"Whew… I think I lost them… ooooooof!" Usagi said as she felt herself slam into something. She looked to see it was a wall of blue, and as she looked up and up, she realized the 'wall' was actually the blue boot belonging to a supersized Sailor Mercury, who also looked very mad.
"Ami! What's going on here?" Usagi asked.
"It's quite simple, Usagi. Your IQ is matching up with your size. I've never been involved with anyone so incredibly stupid." Ami said.
"W… what!? Not you too!" Usagi shouted.
"It is truly disappointing the way you've acted as Sailor Moon, Usagi." Ami said. Quickly, the other giant sailor senshi stood alongside Ami.
"If it weren't for you, we'd have no more evil monsters to fight!" Rei shouted.
"We'd all be living peaceful lives… hunting boyfriends, going to school, taking care of our cats…" Minako said.
"You're hopeless, Usagi! Completely and utterly hopeless!" Makoto shouted. The tears started to fly out of Usagi's eyes.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaah!!! You're all so mean! You know none of that is true!" Usagi said.

Meanwhile, outside Usagi's nightmare full of giant rampaging sailor senshi, Chibiusa and Hotaru gasped over what they saw.
"Oh my… what a terrible thing to go through!" Hotaru said.
"No wonder Usagi has not been sleeping well!" Chibiusa said.
"And maybe the same for the others?" Hotaru said.
"We can worry about that later. We first have to stop those giant evil sailor senshi clones!" Chibiusa said.
"But how? They're much too big for us to handle." Hotaru said. Chibiusa then smiled.
"Don't forget, Hotaru. We can transform however we like with the Dream Projector. We can dress ourselves however we want. We can have whatever objects we want to attack with, and most importantly, we can be whatever size we want!" Chibiusa said.
"Ahhhhh… of course! You think of everything, don't you, Chibiusa?" Hotaru said.
"Teehee… well, it helps that I'm from the 30th century, where just about anything under the sun can be done, including time travel!" Chibiusa said.
"Okay, so how will we be taking on the senshi in Usagi's nightmare?" Hotaru said.
"Simple! As Giant Sailor Chibi-Moon and Giant Sailor Saturn! Just our presence and our words will be enough to calm Usagi down." Chibiusa said.
"Provided our size doesn't scare her." Hotaru said.
"Just follow my lead when we get there." Chibiusa said as she and Hotaru gripped hands while Chibiusa used her free hand to type a series of commands from the console. Chibiusa and Hotaru then nodded at each other and put their hands on the monitor. They closed their eyes as they felt their spirits being transported into Usagi's nightmare.

Usagi looked in every direction and saw no way out. She was surrounded by giant sailor senshi who weren't about to show mercy or lay off on the insults.
"You see, guys! This is why I've been advocating for years that I be the leader and not this pest of a meatball brain!" Rei shouted. Usagi never felt so deflated in her life not only feeling so small compared to her friends, but also from the insults coming from every direction.
"She's not even worthy enough to clean my boots!" Makoto said.
"So what should we do with her?" Minako asked.
"Well, I've always wanted to conduct an experiment on how long it would take a normal person to withstand a giant foot before they get crushed." Ami said.
"Allow me to do the honors." Rei said as she raised her high heeled red shoe up in the air. Usagi gasped hoping she'd wake up right before she endured a most vicious crushing death.

But then, behind Makoto and Minako came a familiar childish voice…
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" Chibiusa shouted as pink hearts came towards all four giantesses and shoved them out of the way and temporarily off balance.
"Ack!" Sailor Mercury shouted as she ended up falling on top of a building half her size and demolishing it underneath. Usagi looked in the distance where Makoto and Minako once stood, and she saw two more giantesses approaching. Chibiusa as Sailor Chibi-Moon and Hotaru as Sailor Saturn. Hotaru kneeled down and lowered a hand towards the ground.
"Usagi! Come with us if you want to live!" Hotaru said. Usagi hesitated at first, but figured she'd take her chances with Hotaru and Chibiusa rather than the others. She ran towards Hotaru's gloved hand and jumped onboard, and Hotaru quickly stood back to her full height with Usagi watching as she gently closed her fist.
"Alright, Chibiusa! Let's go!" Hotaru said as she and Chibiusa clutched their weapons and briskly walked in the other direction. Meanwhile, the other senshi recovered from getting blasted with pink hearts.
"Arrrrgh! What's she doing here!? She's going to ruin everything!" Rei shouted.
"I never thought I'd be dealing with that goody good shoes pink-haired one again!" Makoto shouted.
"Never mind that! Let's just find them!" Minako said as the four giant sailor senshi all split off in different directions, wrecking the city as they looked for Sailor Chibi-Moon.

Chibiusa and Hotaru kept walking around the city until the other giant sailor senshi were out of sight. Chibiusa stepped on a couple parked cars in her path, crushing them into flattened pieces of metal. Hotaru couldn't help but giggle.
"You just can't resist crushing any kind of empty parked vehicle, real or not." Hotaru said.
"Teehee… I can't help it! It's fun!" Chibiusa said.
"Yes, you're right. Anyway, I think we lost them for now." Hotaru said. She opened up her fist again and Usagi looked up at the gigantic Hotaru and Chibiusa.
"Are you alright, Usagi?" Chibiusa asked.
"I… I guess. You two aren't going to insult me, are you?" Usagi asked.
"Goodness, no! We're on your side!" Hotaru shouted.
"Yeah! You raised me better than that! Well, aside from when I'm gigantic and…" Chibiusa said.
"Chibiusa!" Hotaru whispered.
"Right, sorry." Chibiusa said.

Usagi then sighed as she slumped down to a kneeling position on Hotaru's palm.
"Oh… what's the point? Maybe the others are right. I'm no good to the team… or anyone else." Usagi said. Chibiusa then leaned her face in as close as she could to Usagi.
"Come on, Usagi. You know that's not true. Look at everything you accomplished before and after I came into your life!" Chibiusa said.
"She's right. Look at all you've done in the almost three years you've been Sailor Moon." Hotaru said.
"If it wasn't for you, you wouldn't have met all your friends." Chibiusa said.
"If it wasn't for you, I probably would've been forever stuck as Mistress 9." Hotaru said.
"And me as Wicked Lady." Chibiusa said.
"Sigh… other girls could've saved the two of you." Usagi said.
"Not like you. I can't count with both my hands the number of times you risked your life to save one of us." Chibiusa said.
"Usagi… you're the literal beacon of hope for all of us. Without Sailor Moon… I wouldn't be who I am today." Hotaru said.
"I… I can't… I'm just a stupid insignificant little sailor scout. Who ruins everything." Usagi said.
"Well, if you did ruin everything, it sure made for a peaceful life in Crystal Tokyo in the 30th century." Chibiusa said.
"What?" Usagi said.
"Maybe being insignificant is much cooler than being… say… over 100 feet tall like we are now. Listen, Usagi. Didn't you tell me once things happen for a reason?" Chibiusa asked.
"Yeah?" Usagi said.
"Then look at yourself! You defeated Queen Beryl, even when she was, like, 100 times bigger than you! You defeated the Black Moon Clan, you defeated the Witches 5, you defeated the Dead Moon Circus. You defeated Sailor Galaxia!! Any other girl would give up eternal beauty to be in your red boots! You are a great, great sailor scout!" Chibiusa shouted.

Now Usagi had her jaw dropped. This kind of encouragment coming from her future daughter when just the other day they were arguing over who got the last cookie made by Ikuko? What came next out of Chibiusa's mouth surprised her even more.
"As a matter of fact… you're too great. I mean… what chance do I have with all your powers and your resumé as a superheroine? All I do is constantly wish I were always this big and tickle monsters with my pink sugar hearts. Why would the world count on us when we have you?" Chibiusa asked. Usagi got to her feet and gently touched the tip of Chibiusa's nose on her giant face.
"But I'm not alone. Everything I'm ever accomplished is because of working together. I've played my part, but we ALL have contributed to protecting this world." Usagi said. Chibiusa smiled.
"There's the Usagi… no… my future Mom I've come to know and love." Chibiusa said.
"I'm sorry you two. I can be so gullible sometimes." Usagi said.
"We all are. Just look at me. Other kids at Mugen Academy didn't want to look at me because of my healing powers." Hotaru said.
"You know, I can't help but think I've gone through this nightmare before. I mean… minus the part where you two cheer me up." Usagi said.
"Well, that's why we're…" Chibiusa started to say.
"There you are!" Rei shouted in the background.

All the girls looked and saw the other giant sailor senshi approaching, and they looked like they were ready to attack. Hotaru was having none of it, however, as she stepped forward and planted the bottom of her Silence Glaive on the ground.
"That's far enough!" Hotaru shouted.
"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into, girly." Makoto said.
"Yeah! Step aside now!" Rei shouted. Chibiusa took Usagi into her own hands and cradled her against her chest, allowing Usagi to hear her heartbeat as it sped up.
"The real Sailor Senshi wouldn't talk like that to Hotaru! Who are you and what do you want with Usagi!?" Chibiusa shouted.
"You'll find out if you can defeat me, Sailor Chibi-Moon!" Ami said, causing Chibiusa to raise an eyebrow. Who was she dealing with and how did she know her? She couldn't think any more, however, as the four senshi got ready to attack.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" Ami shouted.
"Mars Flame Sniper!" Rei shouted.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Makoto shouted.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" Minako shouted. The four combined attacks made their way (slicing a couple building's rooftops off along the way) towards Hotaru and Chibiusa.
"Silence Wall!" Hotaru shouted as she gripped the Silence Glaive with both hands. A dome of energy surrounded Hotaru and Chibiusa (with Usagi in her hands) and absorbed the attacks that came from the other senshi.

Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako lightly gasped as they saw their attacks didn't scratch Hotaru or Chibiusa. Hotaru looked mad as she stared point blank at the other senshi.
"Death Reborn Revolution!" Hotaru said as she powered up her glaive and then shot purple ribbons of energy at high speed. The other giantesses had no chance to dodge the attack and had their arms or legs chopped off… but instead of blood, they were leaking shadowy energy that seeped into the ground.
"Ouch! You are powerful, young lady!" Minako shouted.
"But you can't possibly defeat me in my next nightmare!" all four giantesses suddenly shouted. Suddenly their entire bodies turned into shadow, which eventually faded out of existence. Hotaru quickly turned around and looked at Chibiusa.
"Chibiusa. I can no longer sense the presence of our enemy." Hotaru said.
"He or she must've escaped into another nightmare." Chibiusa said.
"We better get back to the real world and use the Dream Projector to jump into another nightmare." Hotaru said.
"Right! But first…" Chibiusa said as she remembered she still held Usagi in her hands. She set her down on top of an apartment building.
"Er… sweet dreams, Usagi!" Chibiusa said. Usagi casually waved up at the other giantesses just as they disappeared in a series of flashing lights.

Hotaru and Chibiusa found themselves back in the real world. They quickly looked at Usagi and saw she was no longer struggling and looked to be sleeping peacefully.
"Good. It looks like Usagi is dreaming normally again." Chibiusa said.
"I guess we move onto Ami next?" Hotaru asked. Chibiusa nodded as she and Hotaru aimed the Dream Projector next at the struggling Ami Mizuno.

Ami found herself trapped inside a glass jar with a long ways up towards the opening. As she glanced through the jar at the laboratory scenery, she quickly deduced she was shrunken in size. How small she was she couldn't tell just yet. She hoped it was simply a real tall jar that she was trapped inside, because if it were a smaller jar and the opening were already that far away… Ami shook off the dreadful thought and tried to get the attention of whoever owned this lab.
"Helllllllllo!? Somebody! Anybody! Help!!" Ami shouted.
"Oh! Dr. Usagi, I think our test subject has finally woken up." a loud female voice said in the background. As Ami's heart raced from hearing the echoing footsteps overhead, the blue-haired girl then gasped as she finally saw who the voice belonged to. It was a young girl wearing a lab coat and she sported short, curly red hair and a dark green bow tied to her hair in the back. Ami immediately recognized the girl as one of Usagi's friends.
"Naru!?" Ami shouted. She then watched as Naru gripped the jar and then turned it upside down, causing Ami to fall out.
"Whoa!" Ami shouted as she landed firmly in the palm of Naru's hand. Naru moved the hand up and gave Ami a very closeup look of her face.
"Well, now, my little blue-haired mouse. You've been sleeping for a while. I guess the shrinking shot proved stronger than anticipated." Naru said.
"Don't you mean OUR little blue-haired mouse?" another female voice said in the background, which told Ami she was about to meet another giantess. And who was that other giantess you ask? Ami gasped as she saw who was now standing alongside Naru.
"Usagi!?" Ami said. Indeed, it was Usagi. She looked pretty much the same except for the fact she too wore a lab coat as well as… red-trimmed glasses!? This made Ami raise her eyebrows.
"That's Dr. Usagi to you, pipsqueak! And show some respect to my good friend, Dr. Naru, as well." Usagi said. The two girls walked over to the mouse maze on another table and dropped Ami into the side opposite of the maze's exit.
"Now then, test subject oh nine dash ten. Let's see how fast you can escape this maze." Usagi said.
"Why would I do that!?" Ami shouted as she looked up at the 'giant' Usagi and Naru above the maze's walls.
"You wouldn't want to get trampled by either me or Dr. Naru, would you?" Usagi asked.
"Better me than Usagi. She's crushed 10 times more test subjects than I have, and she's also nearly crushed my foot." Naru said.
"Hey! I can't help that I can't dance or sing to a beat." Usagi said.
"Whatever, Dr. Usagi. It's also a chance to try out my newest invention." Naru said as she walked away from the table.

She returned a minute later holding a roughly foot-and-a-half tall robot.
"Ooooooh, Dr. Naru, is it time to test that thing?" Usagi asked.
"Sure is, Dr. Usagi. Introducing the Mobile Offensive Underground Search Excavation and Retrieval Sentry… or MOUSERS for short." Naru said. Ami gasped as Naru set the metallic robot down a few feet away from herself and the maze's entrance.
"Teehee… I love it! I suggest you make like a mouse and look for the cheese at the end of the maze, test subject." Usagi said. Naru next held a remote control and dialed a few switches on it.
"If MOUSERS succeeds first, perhaps we can mass produce these devices and help solve the city's rat problem." Naru said.
"Oooooh… I like the sound of that! Think of all the candy bars we can buy." Usagi said.
"Heh heh. Oh, Usagi. You're thinking too small, just like all of our small test subjects." Naru said as she pointed down at the shrunken Ami. The two girls then watched as MOUSERS started chomping its teeth and walked slowly towards Ami.
"*gasp!*" Ami gasped as she ran as fast as her tiny legs would take her into the maze.

Ami spent the next few minutes, fighting through fatigue, in running around the maze, going every direction she could and hoping MOUSERS wouldn't be behind her. She kept running into dead ends and the sweat and disorientation started to cloud her judgment.
"Ugh! Where is the exit!?" Ami said. She gasped as she turned around and saw MOUSERS chomping through one of the walls. As Ami turned the corner and barely avoided being bitten by the robot, Naru explained what had just happened.
"MOUSERS will have the capability to laser scan its environment and adapt to the point where it can seek out shortcuts to get to its target faster." Naru said.
"Wow… you really do think of everything, don't you, Naru?" Usagi said.
"Like a ninja turtle. Hahaha!" Naru said as she did a few quick karate chops and laughed. The two turned their attention back to MOUSERS, who was closing in fast on Ami.
Ami ran into another dead end, and this time MOUSERS had her path backwards cut off. MOUSERS chomped faster and faster as it closed in slowly towards Ami, who backed away towards the wall until there was no more room.
"No! Nooooooo!!!" Ami said as she closed her eyes, not wanting to imagine her inevitable fate of being eaten by the robot.

However, the next thing she heard was the sound of something getting whacked. When Ami opened her eyes… the robot was decapitated, with its head laying to the side and both it and the legs of the robot shooting up sparks and smoke.
"What the!?" both Usagi and Naru shouted. They looked to see who or what had destroyed MOUSERS, and Ami looked up to see who had saved her.
It was Chibiusa and Hotaru… also dressed up in lab coats with Hotaru holding a clipboard in both her hands.
"Okay, ladies. I think this experiment has gone on for long enough." Chibiusa said.
"I'm Dr. Hotaru Tomoe, and this is Dr. Chibiusa Tsukino. By order of my father, Souichi Tomoe, we are taking command of this laboratory because we do not approve of your illegal experiments involving shrunken people and self-made robots." Hotaru said with a rather serious look on her face.
"Arrrrgh! Why you…!" Usagi said as she started to charge towards the two younger senshi. However, Naru grabbed Usagi by the arm and whispered something into her ear. Then, both ladies looked at Hotaru and Chibiusa with an evil glare.
"Don't think you meddling kids have won yet!" Usagi said before the two vanished in a cloud of black dust, much like at the end of Usagi's nightmare.
"Darn it! They escaped again!" Chibiusa said.
"Have patience, Chibiusa. We'll catch that nightmarish being soon." Hotaru said.

They then focused their attention on the shrunken Ami, reaching inside the maze and picking her up.
"Meanwhile, you're safe now, Ami. You should be waking up soon, back to your good ol' normal size! Teehee!" Chibiusa said.
"Whew… thank you. Both of you. I must say you both look rather nice as scientists." Ami said.
"Much appreciated!" Hotaru shouted. After Chibiusa set Ami down on a nearby table, she looked over at Hotaru.
"Come on, Hotaru. We don't want our enemy to get too far ahead." Chibiusa said. The two nodded at each other and then vanished in a series of lights.

Next, at the Hikawa Shrine, Rei was busy doing her usual chanting as she sat in front of the sacred fire. Suddenly she had to open her eyes and look right at the fire.
"Something's not right. What is this strange feeling I'm getting from the sacred flame?" Rei said. Suddenly, fireballs came from the flame and flew right towards Rei.
"Whoa!" Rei shouted as she ducked underneath the fire. Then she ducked again, and again, and again. It was literally getting too hot to handle for the priestess as she finally had to abandon the room with the sacred flame.
"*cough cough!*" Rei coughed as smoke filled the room and flames continued to build up around her. Rei finally escaped the shrine entirely, looking back and seeing it engulfed in flames. But that's not what she would eventually gasp over.
"*gasp!*" Rei gasped as she looked out in the distance at the city… with much of it lit up in flames.
"No! That's impossible!" Rei shouted. She carefully made her way down the steps (taking care not to trip over her own shrine maiden outfit) and hitched herself onto a bicycle, pedaling her way into the city.

It looked ten times worse inside the city than out. Buildings galore were either covered in bright, burning flames or were already reduced to ashes.
"The city… is burning…" Rei said. She then looked over and saw a group of people away from the burning buildings and also dodging embers that were falling from the sky.
"Watch out for the embers!" Rei shouted, but she gasped as she watched some people get hit by the embers, leaving them screaming as they rolled around trying to put the flames out. Most people wouldn't be so lucky, however. Rei covered her mouth in shock as she watched a few people had their flesh burned off, reducing them to mere skeletons. To make matters worse, one of those people burned to skeletal remains was a young child. A young woman watched the child burn away, and then she looked angrily over at Rei.
"How dare you take my child like that, you servant of Hell!" the woman shouted.
"What? No! I didn't mean to…" Rei said as she held a hand out towards the woman.

However, even though she wasn't Sailor Mars, a fireball came blasting out from Rei's hand, engulfing the woman in flames.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" the woman screamed with all her might as she tried to fight off the flames, only making them worse as they spread all over her body. Eventually the woman was reduced to nothing more than ashes.
"NO!" Rei screamed as she collapsed to her knees. She looked down at her bare hands.
"Why… why have you forsaken me, great fire of the Hikawa Shrine!?" Rei shouted. She got back up and ran through the burning scenery, eventually seeing a fire hydrant. Rei tried in vain to unlock the fire hydrant, hoping its water would put some of the nearby flames out, but the hydrant wouldn't budge, and she banged on it out of frustration.
"No no NO! There has to be some way to control these flames!" Rei shouted.

Suddenly, the teenage girl heard a siren going off in the air, along with some booming sounds and the ground quickly shaking. Rei didn't know what to think what was happening.
"Is that a citywide emergency alarm? Are power plants now blowing up because of my flames?" Rei asked out loud as she frantically looked around trying to figure out the source of the noise. She would get her answer a few seconds later, when she looked up and saw two giantesses approaching, but not just any giantesses. They were Hotaru and Chibiusa, and much to Rei's astonishment… they were wearing firefighter outfits.
"The H&C Fire Department to the rescue!" Chibiusa shouted as she gave a salute, almost knocking her firefighter's hat off, which Hotaru straightened out.
"Huh? Chibiusa? Hotaru?" Rei said.
"Teehee… have no fear, Rei. We're here to help!" Chibiusa said as she tightly clutched her hose attached to a very large backpack that looked like it could tip Chibiusa over, but it didn't.
"But… but…" Rei said.
"How are we going to put out all this fire, you ask? We've sourced our water from the powers of Sailor Mercury and Sailor Neptune. As you know, their water knocks out ANY fire!" Hotaru said.
"And will heal any people or buildings that have been burned to ashes!" Chibiusa said.
"Chibiusa, we better get a move on before this fire spreads any further in the city." Hotaru said.
"Right! We'll send these fires straight to…" Chibiusa said, only to have her mouth covered by Hotaru.
"Language, Chibiusa." Hotaru said.
"Teehee… thanks. I was thinking about what CereCere and PujePuje did to me and the others that one time. I'll tell you the whole story someday." Chibiusa said.

The two giantesses went their separate ways and attacked the fires head on, spraying them with the aforementioned super pure water and instantly putting them out. Not only that, but as also mentioned earlier, these buildings were magically transformed back to their normal state as soon as they were hit with the water. It wasn't all about fighting fires, though. Even though this was only a dream scenario, Chibiusa still felt compelled to save a few people along the way. There was one family in particular screaming their heads off from the rooftop of an apartment.
"Please, help us!" the mother of the family said as she and the father waved while the son and daughter both clutched their parents' legs in fear.
"Here, jump onto my hand!" Chibiusa said as she held out a gloved hand towards the family. Once they jumped onto her palm, Chibiusa carefully stuffed the family into one of the pockets of her outfit.
"Stay in here. You'll be safe." Chibiusa said before turning her attention towards the burning building and spraying it with water, putting out the flames and healing the building, although it was dripping wet with water. Chibiusa looked back down at the family in her pocket.
"It'll take 10-15 minutes for the water to flush out. You can ride with me in the meantime." Chibiusa said.
"You're so cool, Giant Pink-Haired One!" the boy said.
"Teehee… thank you!" Chibiusa said as she walked to another part of the city.

It was the same routine for Hotaru, and it almost brought a smile to her face. Before she met the rest of the Sailor Senshi, namely Chibiusa, she wouldn't have dreamed of being in scenarios like this. As she put out another fire, she watched as a man ran out of the structure and then fainted on the ground.
"Oh dear! He needs CPR!" Hotaru said. She got down on her knees and gently rolled the man onto his backside. With a gentle touch from her finger, she repeatedly pushed down on the man's chest until she heard him coughing up air. Hotaru planted her lips all over the man's body and let out a very light gust of air. The man opened his eyes and looked up at the giant Hotaru.
"Oh… I didn't know angels were so young… and so big…" the man said.
"Heh heh… well, you are safe now. The paramedics will be here soon to properly take care of you." Hotaru said.
"But what about my belongings? My family heirlooms?" the man said.
"They should be safe. A little wet from the water in my hose, but I don't believe they've been burned away." Hotaru said.
"Thank you, giantess." the man said. Hotaru gave a quick nod and stood back up, walking down the street to another section of the city.

A few minutes pass, and Hotaru and Chibiusa have reunited as they looked around and saw only a few more buildings were left burning, with everyone and everything else cured like nothing had happened. As Hotaru reached over and sprayed another building, both giantesses watched as a black shadow went shooting up in the air from where the fire was.
"Chibiusa, did you see that?" Hotaru asked.
"I did! It must have been the same shadowy figure that attacked Usagi and Ami's dreams." Chibiusa said.
"Clearly it can take whatever form it desires; not just another person." Hotaru said.
"Hmmm… yes. We'll have to remember that as we go along." Chibiusa said. The two giantesses then tackled the last of the flames, and the city was burning no more. But they still had one slight complication as they looked down and saw rivers of water flowing from one street to another.
"I think we overdid it on the water." Hotaru said.
"Teehee… maybe, but you gotta remember we're gigantic! A little water to us is like 10 swimming pools to these little people!" Chibiusa said. Hotaru nodded in agreement.

Hotaru then looked down by one of her boots and saw Rei standing next to it, looking very depressed at the same time. Hotaru reached down and gently picked the girl up.
"What's wrong, Rei? Can't you see we put out all the fires?" Hotaru asked.
"Yeah, but… this whole thing is my fault. Clearly I still have much to learn about controlling the sacred fire." Rei said.
"Come on, Rei! Don't say that! You and I both know some evil force was in control of that fire! This was not your doing!" Chibiusa said.
"Yes it was, Chibiusa! I played a part in all this! Maybe I should throw away everything I know and love about being a priestess." Rei said. Hotaru gave the girl a light pat on the head.
"Don't be so hard on yourself, Rei. You have a gift that makes you very special and makes you an important part of our team." Hotaru said.
"Hotaru's right! If it weren't for you, we all wouldn't be here! Take it from me. I know all the great things you've done until the 30th Century." Chibiusa said. That's when Rei cracked a smile again.
"Thank you, both of you. You're both literal rays of sunshine and hope." Rei said.
"Not bad for someone who keeps the lights off often in my room." Hotaru said, prompting a laugh from all three.
"Come on, Hotaru. Let's go chase after that figure again." Chibiusa said, with Hotaru nodding. After Rei was set aside on a nearby rooftop, Hotaru and Chibiusa closed their eyes and soon disappeared in bright flashes of light.

While the conversation was going on between Hotaru, Chibiusa, and Rei, the shadow figure had escaped from Rei's head and was slithering its way towards Makoto.
"Drat! Those two brats have foiled my plan again! And I feel myself getting smaller from using all this power. I must work harder than ever to consume at least one of these girls with fear if I'm ever to fully rematerialize in this world!" the shadowy figure said with a very clear female voice. The figure soon made it's way into Makoto's head.

Inside Makoto's soon-to-be-nightmare, she (dressed in her blue school uniform) was walking out of Game Center Crown looking like she was ready to throw a temper tantrum, as evident by the empty space in front of her she just punched.
"Ugh! I swear every one of those machines is rigged! Right when you get to the end, they crank the difficulty to 11!" Makoto shouted.
"Hey there, beautiful." a male voice suddenly said. Makoto looked over where the voice came from and saw it was one of her old boyfriends.
"Huh? Tadashi?" Makoto asked as she watched the nice looking man walk up to her holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Makoto. I know I was a jerk to you when we last dated. Perhaps these will make up for it." the man said.
"Er… thanks, though it will take more than flowers to mend our fences." Makoto said.
"Then let me take you out on a date. It's my treat." the man said.
"Well…" Makoto said. Before she could answer, however, she heard another man call out to her.
"Makoto!" the other man shouted. Makoto looked back and recognized the man.
"Crane Game Joe!?" Makoto shouted. He too was holding flowers in his hands that he handed over to Makoto.
"Makoto. I know I was a jerk to you when we last dated. Perhaps these will make up for it." Joe said.
"Er…" Makoto said.
"Then let me take you out on a date. It's my treat." Joe said.
"That's very kind of you…" Makoto said.

Soon, however, the recognizable boyfriends started piling up. Two quickly became ten, and they were all muttering the same thing.
"Makoto. I know I was a jerk to you when we last dated. Perhaps these will make up for it. Then let me take you out on a date. It's my treat." they all said. With all the men acting like robots and her arms buried in flowers, Makoto knew something was up and had to get away.
"This is bonkers!" Makoto said as she ran and ran down the street. When she tried turning the corner, another dozen guys came walking up to her holding roses and calling her name. She turned around, only to see even more of her ex-boyfriends, most of them clones of each other.
"Ugh! Not even that Rogue lady had this much boy trouble!" Makoto shouted as she ran through the crowd.
She suddenly found herself in a dead end, but she was not one to back down when all odds were stacked against her. She clenched her fists and got to punching and kicking as many of the guys as she could. She knocked a few of them unconscious, but it wasn't nearly enough. She tried to fight through the crowd again, but she quickly found herself surrounded by boys, with the ones closest to her trying to reach out and grab her.
"No! Stop! Let me go, you mega creeps! LET ME GO!!!" Makoto said as she growled and tried to fight off the grabbing boys.

Seconds later, however, everyone heard loud booming sounds and then a loud childish female voice.
"Hey! Leave my friend alone, you jerks!" Chibiusa shouted as a large shovel suddenly came down on the group of boys. Some of them got crushed underneath the shovel while others got scooped up and then thrown over her shoulder like dirt being shoveled away. Makoto looked up at the gigantic Chibiusa and Hotaru, both holding shovels and wearing their usual school outfits.
"Oh! Chibiusa! Hotaru! Towering overhead as usual, I see." Makoto said.
"Teehee… even in your dreams!" Chibiusa said, watching as Hotaru was the next to shovel a group of guys and hurl them into the distance.
"Wow… this feels really good, Chibiusa!" Hotaru said.
"Glad you like it! Maybe one day you'll have some boyfriends that you can shrink and shovel into the next country." Chibiusa said with a wink from one of her eyes before she got shoveling again.
"Ahem… for shovelry!" Hotaru suddenly shouted as she got back to shoveling herself.
"Oooooh… I like that! You're like a Shovel Knight!" Chibiusa said, causing both giantesses to laugh.

Despite their best efforts, there were still a good number of boys left trying to get near Makoto, something that really got on her nerves.
"Oooooh… just like in real life, they sure are persistant! I wish I was as big as you two so I can crush them like insects!" Makoto shouted. That's when Hotaru and Chibiusa looked at each other and smiled.
"Consider your wish granted, Makoto!" Chibiusa shouted. She and Hotaru each hovered a hand above Makoto, and just like magic, Makoto suddenly found herself growing bigger and bigger and bigger. She grew at a rapid pace, it only took a few seconds for her to grow bigger than Chibiusa and Hotaru. The two younger giantesses looked up as Makoto rose further into the sky. Finally, she stopped growing when she was about four times bigger than Hotaru and Chibiusa. Of course, this made the men that once surrounded Makoto look ant-sized now.
"Mwahahaha! I'd like to see you creeps try and date me now!" Makoto said as she started to raise one of her heeled shoes up to crush the guys. Right before they could be crushed, they dissolved into a black mist that sunk into the ground. Hotaru and Chibiusa both caught this, but Makoto was busy planting her shoe down and twisting it back and forth, eventually lifting it up and seeing nothing but cracked ground in every direction from where she stomped.
"Mmmm… that felt really good. Thanks, you two!" Makoto said as she reached down and picked up Hotaru and Chibiusa, hugging them like stuffed dolls.
"Ooooof! Our pleasure!" Hotaru shouted.

Makoto then pulled the two back and looked at them right in the eyes.
"Y'know, I'm in the mood to pretend I'm a giant monster and crush some of this city. I know you two would love to watch, right?" Makoto said.
"Teehee… we would, but…" Chibiusa said.
"We need to get back to the real world and see if everyone else is sleeping okay. Maybe next time!" Hotaru said.
"Ahhhh, I see. Well, see you two later then! And I'll remember to call you two if I need to dig up something." Makoto said. Hotaru and Chibiusa giggled before they closed their eyes and transported themselves to the next dream.

As Hotaru and Chibiusa opened their eyes and found themselves skydiving towards the ground, they could hear various people screaming for help.
"Oh no! The giant robot has gone out of control!" a man shouted.
"Is there nobody that will save us from this mighty morphin' monstrosity!?" a woman shouted.
"Huh? A giant robot on the loose? Is this really Minako's dream, Chibiusa?" Hotaru asked.
"There's no mistaking it! I wouldn't have expected her to dream a scenario like this." Chibiusa said.
The two eventually landed safely on the ground (no parachute needed!), where they indeed saw a giant robot walking around like it had a few hundred screws loose as it wobbled around, destroying whatever buildings were in its path.
"Okay, but where's Minako?" Hotaru asked. Chibiusa was about to answer, when suddenly…
"Stop right there, giant robot!" the familiar female voice of Minako shouted. Hotaru and Chibiusa both turned around and saw her walking proudly down the street, but there were a couple notable differences. One was that she was just as tall as the robot already (about 150 feet tall), and she wore sailor senshi colors (including on her shoes) that bore a high resemblance to Sailor Moon. Plus she had flashy red-rimmed glasses in front of her eyes.
"Is that… Minako?" Hotaru said.
"Oh! I wonder if this is her old Sailor V look she wore long before there was Sailor Moon." Chibiusa said.

The giant Sailor V firmly planted one of her shoes into the ground, just as the tiny people next to them cheered the heroic giantess on.
"Alright! It's Giant Sailor V!" one man shouted.
"Go Giant Sailor V!" one woman shouted.
"I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and for Beauty! I am Sailor V, and I'll punish you with the power of love!" Minako shouted. The robot aimed one of its arms at Minako and fired one of its fists like a rocket, but Minako easily dodged this by leaping into the air and doing a front flip along the way, landing a couple feet away from the robot as the crowd cheered wildly. Minako, meanwhile, wrapped her arms around the robot's head.
"Good thing you're just a robot, because what I'm about to do would REALLY hurt!" Minako shouted as she twisted the robot's head, sending sparks and smoke shooting from all its openings. The giantess had obviously short circuited the robot with this move, watching as it fell flat on its front side onto the ground, laying motionless before everyone's eyes.
"Another victory for V!" Minako said as she gave a V sign towards the disabled robot.

The crowd cheered wildly for the giantess, praising her any way they could.
"Awwww… thank you, everyone, I was only doing what was… huh?" Minako said, only to watch the city suddenly rapidly shrinking before her eyes.
"What? I'm growing again?" Minako asked as she looked around in a confused manner. As her high heeled shoes bulldozed through a row of buildings, the crowd kept on cheering.
"Alright! You grow, Sailor V!" one man shouted.
"We love you as a giantess! Keep growing and protect us all!" one woman cheered. Minako was growing at a feverish pace. She was already the height of the Tokyo Tower and watching the world around her continue to shrink.
"Ummmm… okay, everyone. You can stop cheering now!" Minako said, listening as more and more people around the city cheered. This only fueled her extreme growth spurt as she watched the Tokyo Tower become as small as a toothpick to her eyes.
Bigger and bigger she got… almost all of Japan was underneath her shoe, and yet the cheering got louder.
"Sai-lor V! Sai-lor V! Sai-lor V! Sai-lor V! Sai-lor V! Sai-lor V! Sai-lor V! Sai-lor V! Sai-lor V!" all of Japan, and eventually neighboring countries like South Korea, Russia, and even China rooted for the ever growing giantess, who was now getting deeply concerned. She was so huge, she could actually see the Earth curving. A couple tears came down her eyes as she watched almost all of Asia fade from her view as it got demolished beyond words under her footwear.
"Please! STOP CHEERING! Or I'll never stop growing!" Minako said, but her pleas seemed to fall on deaf ears. Heck, she thought the whole planet might go deaf as loud as the cheering was getting.

Despite the planet getting mangled underneath her growing body, the cheering didn't stop for Sailor V. With the whole planet strangely cheering her on, her growth continued to vastly accelerate. She was now too big for planet Earth, watching it shrink to the size of the marble and getting smaller still.
"This… this can't be happening. I always wanted to hit the big time, but this is taking things too far!" Minako said. The rest of the solar system would follow. Even Jupiter was small enough to get whacked out of orbit by Sailor V's long blonde hair as she rapidly turned her head and floated about. The sun was nowhere near big enough to affect her vision… and she STILL heard cheering. Were aliens from other planets happy to see her reach these literally astronomical heights? She sighed as she watched the entire galaxy shrink before her eyes.
"Well… I guess any second I'll be big enough to either swallow or inhale the entire universe." Minako said.

Then suddenly… a younger female voice came from the side.
"Bleh… you stink, Sailor V!" the voice said. Minako looked where the voice came from… and there were both Hotaru and Chibiusa, transformed as Sailor Saturn and Sailor Chibi-Moon, and they were just as galaxy-sized as she was!
"Chibiusa! Hotaru! How did you… yeah, I better not ask how you grew this big." Minako said.
"I've seen 10-year-olds be more heroic than you!" Hotaru shouted.
"Huh? What are you two doing?" Minako said.
"We're hoping by insulting you instead of cheering you, it will stop your growing." Chibiusa said. Minako then looked around at other galaxies floating around her waist and noticed one important detail.
"Oh? It looks like the growing stopped. Alright, go ahead, insult me some more." Minako said.
"Alright. That's going to be tricky given how kind and gentle we both are." Hotaru said.
"Er, well… unless Usagi gets the last cookie!" Chibiusa said.
"If you're the so called goddess of love, how come you don't have a boyfriend yet!?" Hotaru shouted.
"You can't even catch a cold in outer space!" Chibiusa said.
"Why orange when you're Sailor Venus? Why not something flashier, like, oh, I don't know, cyan!?" Hotaru shouted.
"You probably have claw-like toenails if you're wearing shoes at this size!" Chibiusa said.

Of course, the two didn't just verbally insult their friend and teammate. Chibiusa magically summoned a tomato and threw it right at the side of Minako's face, splattering its contents all over her.
"Get off the cosmic stage, Sailor D! As in D-U-M-Dumb!" Chibiusa said. Minako couldn't help but laugh at what Hotaru and Chibiusa were saying and throwing, but most importantly, she watched as the Milky Way Galaxy was rapidly getting bigger as she floated her way back inside it.
"It's working, girls! Keep it up!" Minako said. Even though she was shrinking, Chibiusa and Hotaru were a bit slow in doing their own shrinking, and so they couldn't help but throw in a few size-related insults.
"Haha! You're so much smaller than us, Minako!" Chibiusa said.
"If you're a galactic goddess, what does that make us?" Hotaru asked.
"Super duper galactic goddesses!" Chibiusa said.
"Ah, good point! With powers beyond your comprehension!" Hotaru said.
"I bet Makoto would be proud… not! Hahahaha!" Chibiusa said. While that last insult stung a little bit, Minako did her best to keep the laughter up. The laughter and the insults combined to speed up her shrinking as she watched Earth come back into view. She did her best to line up with Tokyo so she could float back down into that city.

Finally, Minako had shrunken all the way back to her normal size, as did Chibiusa and Hotaru.
"Whew… I never thought I'd be so glad to be my good ol' 157 centimeters tall!" Minako said.
"Teehee… still! You have to admit it was a little bit fun to be that big!" Chibiusa said.
"Heh… I don't think there's anything little about being as big as the whole universe." Minako said as she lightly brushed her Sailor V outfit.
"Anyway, we better get back and see who else's dream we have to rescue." Hotaru said.
"You're right, Hotaru. Maybe we can catch whoever it is in the next dream! This game of Dream Tag is getting a bit tiring…" Chibiusa said as the two vanished from Minako's dream.

Somewhere outside a little church, wedding bells rang and the organ played that familiar tune of someone walking down the isle, and that someone was Michiru, dressed from head to toe in a wedding outfit. She smiled as she looked up at the altar and saw not just the female minister, but also Haruka dressed in her tuxedo-like outfit. As the traditional wedding music played in the background, clouds starting rolling in, although nobody seemed to pay much attention to them for now. Michiru made it to the same platform that Haruka was standing on, and the minister got the proceedings started.
"Friends and family, we are gathered here today to celebrate the true power of love. Love is something that is a very intimate thing between two people, but marriage is the proclamation of that love in public. No matter the tastes, the sharing and differences in common interests, the gender… Haruka and Michiru, today you are about to celebrate one of life's greatest moments." the minister said, going on and on for another minute until it was time for the two brides to face each other and hold hands.
"Michiru. You have been the water to my fire. You've kept me in check, keeping me from driving myself off a cliff. We are yin and yang ever since we first met. I pledge forever to return the favor by always being by your side and being there no matter what dangers lie ahead for us. I love you forever more." Haruka said.
"Haruka. I've always looked up to your wisdom, courage, and power. You towering over me is like looking at a reflection of who I strive to be. While at times you have needed my help more than I have requested your help… where you have stood up for me is something I can never be thankful enough for. I completely agree that we are inseperable. Together we can do great things not just for Tokyo, but the entire world as well. I love you forever more." Michiru said. After the two said 'I do' to each other and exchanged rings, the miniser smiled and then looked back in her book to seal the deal.
"In as much as you, Haruka, and you, Michiru, have consented in martimony, and have witness of say before family and friends… by virtue of authority vested in me and this church, I now pronounce you married. You may seal your marriage with…"

But before she could finish, a loud clap of thunder rang overhead, and almost immediately afterwards, heavy rain poured down over the area. Everyone ran around trying to find cover from the sudden storm, and sudden it was judging by the reactions of both Michiru and Haruka.
"Ugh! Where did this sudden downpour come from!?" Haruka shouted.
"Don't look at me! I left my water powers at home!" Michiru said.
"Wait until I get my hands on that weatherman…" Haruka said. Michiru peeked out from under the table and saw how thick and huge the clouds were overhead.
"It might be a while before this storm rolls by." Michiru said.
"Some wedding ceremony, I guess." Haruka said. The two then heard more booming sounds, leaving Michiru to stick her head out. She gasped over what she saw.
"Haruka, look!" Michiru shouted.

The two watched as Chibiusa and Hotaru came walking onto the church grounds, both of course giant-sized and wearing raincoats that covered them from head to toe.
"Teehee… hello down there! I see you're having a rain problem." Chibiusa said.
"Gee, you think?" Haruka jokingly asked.
"Never fear! We're here to help!" Hotaru said. The two quickly summoned umbrellas, obviously oversized just like they were. Once they opened them up, their sheer size managed to block out every last drop of rain from the sky.
"Quick! Finish the ceremony!" Hotaru shouted. Everyone quickly got back into their places and finished the job.
"Now then, as I was saying! I now pronounce you married. You may seal your marriage with a kiss!" the minister proudly said. Haruka and Michiru wasted no time in planting their lips together. The audience applauded as the kissing lasted for 30 seconds. At the same time, the rain clouds literally vanished out of thin air, leaving nothing but bright sunshine and not a cloud in the sky.

Well… aside from the same shadowy cloud the two giantesses have seen in every nightmare thus far. This time, the cloud floated in front of the faces of them as they closed their umbrellas
"Arrrrrrgh! How dare you interfere in my mission!? I will make you pay for this, Chibiusa Tsukino!" the evil female voice said from the cloud before it disappeared.
"Hmmm… so it seems our enemy is another woman." Hotaru said.
"Yes… but…" Chibiusa said.
"What is it, Chibiusa?" Hotaru asked.
"I know I've heard that voice before. It's someone the other senshi and I thought a little while ago." Chibiusa said. The two giantesses then looked down by their rain boots and saw Haruka and Michiru standing in front of them.
"Thank you both for saving our wedding." Haruka said.
"Teehee… you're welcome!" Chibiusa shouted.
"May we both wish years and years of happiness between the two of you, Auntie Haruka and Auntie Michiru. And never let anyone come between your dreams!" Hotaru said.
"Especially your marriage!" Chibiusa shouted.
"Haha… thank you for that, both of you. Now if you'll excuse us…" Michiru said.
"Yes. It's time for our first makeout as a married couple." Haruka said as she gently tugged on Michiru's wedding dress.
"Oooooooh… down, kitty!" Michiru shouted as the two jumped into the back of Haruka's signature red convertible. The two wasted no time in passionately kissing and embracing each other…
"Mmmmmmm…!" Haruka and Michiru both moaned and groaned as they started to strip away layers of their fancy clothing. Both Hotaru and Chibiusa cringed over what they were seeing.
"Ummmm… I think that's our cue to leave, Hotaru." Chibiusa said.
"I couldn't agree more." Hotaru said as the two disappeared from the scene to make their way to the final nightmare… that belonging to Setsuna.

Setsuna, transformed as Sailor Pluto, paced back and forth in front of the Space-Time Door, wondering why she was summoned to it by Neo Queen Serenity. She didn't have to wait long as she watched the queen come down the steps and approach her… although she seemed to be walking fast and looked VERY angry. And she was bare foot too.
"Your majesty! You asked to see me…" Setsuna said.
"SILENCE!!! I am very disappointed in you, Sailor Pluto!" Neo Queen Serenity shouted.
"W-What?" Setsuna said.
"If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have anyone traveling back in time… whether it's the Black Moon Clan or my daughter wanting to crush all of 20th Century Tokyo under her red dress shoes!" Neo Queen Serenity said.
"I… I don't understand, your majesty. You know some of those elements were not of the Space-Time Door's doing…" Setsuna said.
"Are you questioning my logical reasoning, young lady!? It's no wonder the planet you represent has been reduced to dwarf status!" Neo Queen Serenity shouted.

Setsuna gasped. She never in a million years would sense this kind of emotion from the queen… especially since she praised her a few days ago for starting that board game hijinx! Setsuna dropped down to one knee and looked directly at the queen's toes.
"Your majesty, I beg for your forgiveness. Whatever I need to do to set this right, I will comply." Setsuna said.
"That's very noble of you, Sailor Pluto, but not even you can right these wrongs anymore. I hereby relinquish you of your powers." Neo Queen Serenity said. Setsuna gasped as she watched the Garnet Rod disappear in a flurry of stars from her hands.
"And I shall reduce your size worthy of your planet's standing in our Solar System." Neo Queen Serenity said as she pinched a couple fingers together. As she did so, Setsuna watched the queen suddenly get bigger and bigger, also watching the floor beneath her close in.
"I… I'm shrinking!" Setsuna said, panicking as she watched the world around her rapidly get bigger. Eventually the shrinking stopped, leaving her around 2-3 inches tall. It didn't make her feel any better watching the queen take a step forward and have her pinky toe tower over her like a small apartment building.
"It would be easy for me to crush you like the insignificant bug you now are, but I shall let the Space-Time Door itself seal your fate." Neo Queen Serenity said from above. She then made a horizontal slashing motion with her right arm, sending a bolt of energy at the Space-Time Door and slicing a part of it open.
"Your majesty, no! You know what happens when… ACK!" Setsuna shouted, only to suddenly be lifted off the ground. She grabbed a small enough crack in the ground and used it to hold on and keep from being sucked into the door, because she well knew getting thrown into the door like that could either shred her apart or send her thousands of years either forward or backward.

As Neo Queen Serenity stormed away from the door, unaffected by the vacuum effect from the tear, Setsuna was struggling to keep her grip on the floor.
"Can't… hold… any… longer… AAAAAH!!!" Setsuna said as she finally lost her grip and seemingly went flying to her temporal doom. However, she felt herself be caught by something, eventually seeing it was a giant hand. That giant hand actually belonged to a normal-sized Hotaru. Standing alongside her was Chibiusa, both wearing their usual school outfits except for one minor difference… they both had construction hardhats on their heads.
"Whew! That was close! Are you alright, Auntie Setsuna?" Hotaru shouted as she and Chibiusa did their best to keep their footing with the Space-Time Door wanting to pull them closer.
"Oh? Hotaru and Chibiusa?" Setsuna said.
"Teehee… yep! That's us! I remember you being much muuuuuuuuch taller, though." Chibiusa said with a wink from one of her eyes.
"The joke is admirable, Chibiusa, but never mind me! We must repair the Space-Time Door before it potentially explodes and takes the whole universe with it!" Setsuna shouted.
"I'm on it! Bandages fix everything!" Chibiusa said as she suddenly pulled a box of bandages out from under her hardhat. Chibiusa, without a shred of fear, ran up to the part of the Space-Time Door that was cracked open and got to work laying one bandage after another.
"Hurry, Chibiusa…" Hotaru said as she held her hands (with the shrunken Setsuna in them) close to her chest and secretly prayed for Chibiusa to be successful.
"GET AWAY FROM THAT DOOR!" a female voice suddenly shouted.

Chibiusa and Hotaru looked to the left where they saw the shadowy figure, now clearly resembling a human being (but they still couldn't see her face).
"It's that shadow lady again!" Chibiusa said. The shadow lady fired some kind of black beam, but Hotaru was quick to transform into Sailor Saturn (still with hardhat) and use her Silence Glaive to block the attack.
"I've had enough of you, shadow figure! Take this!" Hotaru said as she charged towards the shadow lady and slashed at her with her weapon. The lady backdashed as far as she could, but was still struck by the tip of the glaive, and it HURT.
"Yeowch! What incredible power… it's like the essence of death itself…" the shadow lady said as she slumped down to one knee and clutched her chest. At the same time, Chibiusa put the last bandage on the Space-Time Door and sealed it up again.
"Done, Hotaru! The Space-Time Door is safe and sound." Chibiusa said.
"Curses! Ooooooh… I feel my power fading… must… retreat…" the shadow lady said as she disappeared from sight again, although Chibiusa and Hotaru managed to see the figure was shrinking before she vanished.

The two then looked down at the shrunken Setsuna (still as Sailor Pluto).
"Thank you, you two, but I fear the damage may have been done." Setsuna said.
"Huh? What are you saying, Auntie Setsuna?" Hotaru asked.
"Neo Queen Serenity is right. Maybe I am just a screwup. I did not perform my duty to the fullest extent of guarding all of time and space." Setsuna said.
"Don't say that, Puu! You know Mommy better than anyone… she knows you do the best that you do!" Chibiusa said.
"And besides… it's alright to diverge from your duties. Auntie Haruka used to tell me all the time… all work and no play makes for a dull day." Hotaru said.
"Think of all the fun times we've had together, and how we've worked together as Sailor Senshi to stop ANY threat." Chibiusa said.
"You're right. Thank you, you two." Setsuna said.

Hotaru then set Setsuna back down on the ground.
"We'd grow you back to normal, but being just a dream, that won't be necessary." Hotaru said.
"That's okay. Maybe I'll try and sneak into Sailor Venus's bedroom before I wake up." Setsuna said.
"Oh? Why her, Puu?" Chibiusa asked.
"To see if she's trying to date again like she did in the 21st Century." Setsuna said. Hotaru and Chibiusa laughed, relieved to see Setsuna had a sense of humor again.
"Come on, Chibiusa. Let's see if we can finally catch that shadow figure once and for all." Hotaru said. Chibiusa nodded and the two ladies disappeared.

Hotaru and Chibiusa were back in the real world. With all the girls now sleeping peacefully, Chibiusa breathed a sigh of relief and shut off the Dream Projector.
"Whew… thank goodness the Dream Projector held up. I don't think I've run it this long before." Chibiusa said.
"But where's that shadow lady?" Hotaru said. Chibiusa looked around the room, and then she spotted a tiny figure running towards the bedroom door, illuminated by one of the night lights.
"Look, over there! Whoever that is looks teeny tiny." Chibiusa said.
"And is trying to get away!" Hotaru said as she quickly walked towards the tiny person. Hotaru firmly planted her bare feet in front of the person, cutting off her way out.
"Chibiusa! This must be the shadowy figure. I can sense the same evil energy from all the nightmares we went through." Hotaru said. As Chibiusa approached the tiny woman, she gasped as she immediately recognized who it was.
"You! Now I remember you! You're Queen Badiane!" Chibiusa said.
"Grrrr… yes, you got me." Queen Badiane said.
"But how? Sailor Moon and I destroyed you and the Black Dream Hole!" Chibiusa said.
"Silly child! You know I am not so easy to get rid of! You may have foiled my plans to destroy these girls from within with horrible nightmares, but when I recharge my powers, I will come back stronger than ever and… ACK!" Queen Badiane said, only to find herself being grabbed by Chibiusa as she kneeled down and wrapped one of her hands around her. Hotaru rolled her eyes.
"Why do the evil ladies always have to mouth off and not realize they're so vulnerable? It kinda reminds me of the late Kaolinite." Hotaru said. Chibiusa, meanwhile, moved the trapped Queen Badiane up to her angry face.
"News flash, Queen Badiane! You're not in any shape, or size for that matter, to harm anyone! Especially any further!" Chibiusa said.
"Arrrrgh! Let me go, you pink-haired brat!" Queen Badiane said.

Chibiusa then smiled in a rather sinister manner.
"No. In fact, I think it's time for some payback. Remember when you tried to squeeze the life out of me when you were gigantic!?" Chibiusa shouted as she tightened her grip, causing Queen Badiane to scream.
"AAAAAH!!! So tight!!" Queen Badiane said.
"Say you're sorry for attacking dreams all around the world! Say it!" Chibiusa shouted.
"Never… I… ugh… losing… all… my… strength…" Queen Badiane said as she was clearly losing stamina.
"I've always wanted to literally squeeze the life out of someone." Chibiusa said.
"No… NOOOOOO!" Queen Badiane screamed before her energy fully drained and she dissolved into a black powdery mess which first sprinkled onto Chibiusa's hand and then onto the floor. Chibiusa and Hotaru stood over the mess that once was Queen Badiane.
"Wow… that felt really, I mean REALLY, good." Chibiusa said.
"I'll have to try that next time we stomp around a model city. I mean… on an action figure or something like that." Hotaru said.
"Teehee! I'd love to see that!" Chibiusa said as the two shared a quick hug.

The two then turned around when the room was brightened with more light from the lamps, and they saw the other girls waking up.
"Oh? Chibiusa? Hotaru? What are you doing up so early?" Usagi asked.
"Errrr… nothing. We just woke up from having dreams." Chibiusa said.
"Yeah! Big dreams too." Hotaru said.
"Hmmm… that's strange. I had the weirdest dream where Usagi and Naru were treating me like a lab rat, but you two came to the rescue." Ami said.
"Really!? Chibiusa and Hotaru were in my dream too! They had to shovel away nearly every bad date I've ever had!" Makoto said. All the teenaged girls were suddenly staring right at Chibiusa and Hotaru.
"Teehee… I think we better tell them, Hotaru." Chibiusa said.
"I agree, Chibiusa. It will help everyone sleep better!" Hotaru said. After a few of the girls laughed, Chibiusa and Hotaru sat down in a group huddle with all the girls and told them the stories of why they had their nightmares and how they came to their literal BIG rescues. ^______^
