    --September 11, 2000-

   Major Carter followed Eternal Sailor Venus as she flew above the
rooftops in pursuit of Kodachi Kuno-who, a few minutes ago, had
stormed into the chapel where they were rehearsing for the wedding,
threw some of her lethal flowers in and declared that: "No one is
getting married until I get my Ranma-sama!!"  Then she had bounded off,
laughing all the way.  Minako had immediately transformed and started
after her, while Major Carter transformed her cycle to armor mode and
did the Rooftop Hop, following Venus.

   "Jeez, how can she move so fast?" Carter heard Venus mutter over her
communicator.  Carter couldn't understand it. How had the Kunos
learned where the wedding was?  She and the rest of the Knights had
helped the Senshi plan the whole thing so that nothing adverse would
happen to the Prince and Princess.  <And what do we get for our
troubles?> Carter thought a little sarcastically, <someone or something
wipes the floor with us, we find out that Wasshu or Pluto are possibly
up to something, we have more paperwork that we like to stand, and now
this psycho shows up!!>  She sighed.  "At least life isn't boring."  

   "What was that?" Venus asked.

   "Oh nothing, just thinking out loud.  Say, Venus, do you have any 
idea how that psycho gymnast found out where the wedding was?"

   "I have no idea." Venus replied, her eyes set on the fleeing 
Kodachi. "But I overheard the three goddesses talking and I think they 
might have an idea of who tipped her off."

   Then Venus swore.  "She's gone into the Kuno Estates!"

   "Great." Carter replied.  "Getting her now gonna be a lot of fun.
Think you can scare her out of there with a Romance Shower?"

   "I'll try." Venus replied, then flew up above the Kuno house.  

   "VENUS ROMANCE SHOWER!!"

   The multiple laser beams stabbed into the grounds of the estate.  In
response, multiple arrows shot into the air towards Venus.

   "YEEEEEEEK!!!!" Venus was suddenly busy trying to dodge the arrows.

   Carter landed on the wall surrounding the estates and sighted the 
arrow launchers.  "Let's see how you respond to this!" she said.  With 
that, missiles launched out of her suit to blow up the arrow launchers.

   In response, Carter was knocked off the wall by an energy beam. 
"What the....?"

   Mara floated up and over the wall.

   <Oh shit!!> Carter thought.  "I guess it was you who tipped off the
Kunos." she said.

   "Yep, it was me.  I told Sailor Moon I would get my revenge. How do
you like it?"

   A new voice answered. "Oh, I don't know..how do you like this?"

   "SOLAR NOVA STRIKE!!" 
   "NEPTUNE WATERSPOUT STRIKE!!" 
   "MARS PHOENIX STRIKE!!" 
   "MERCURY ICE STORMWIND!!" 
   "CRESCENT MOON BEAM!!"

   Mara was blasted from her perch as Sailors Moon, Solaris, Neptune,
Mars, and Mercury arrived and launched their attacks against her.

   Venus then flew up.  "VENUS LOVE-ME CHAIN!!"

    The chain of glowing hearts wrapped around Mara's leg and threw her
into a nearby tree.  Standing up, she swore. "Damn you, you little
blonde!  Now you're gonna get it!" She raised a hand...

   ...which was promptly slashed by a red streak.  

   Tuxedo Kamen stood atop a nearby fence, holding one of his trademark
roses.  "People like you give ladies a bad name!" he said.

   "Ah shut up, you tuxedo caped freak!!" Mara said as she raised her 
hand to fire at Tuxedo Kamen.

   "Mara."

   Mara froze and turned around slowly.  Belldandy, Skuld, and Urd were
standing there, ready to fire at Mara. The kicker was that Belldandy
was also looking quite mad.  

   <Uh oh> was all that Mara could think before she was hit by two 
force bolts and various bombs (thrown by Skuld).  The Senshi added 
their various attacks to the mix, and Sailor Moon finished up with her
Eternal Moonlight Harmony attack/healing move.

   Mara, dazed, was thrown against another tree.  "Ow, okay, okay, I 
get the point, I'm going, have a nice wedding."  And with a final wave 
(and finger) to Belldandy, she disappeared before a force bolt hit the 
tree.

   Carter got up from where she had fallen.  "Whew, glad that's over." 
she said.

   "I'm really sorry for everything she's done." Belldandy said. 

   "Hey, don't worry about it," Sailor Moon said, putting an arm on the
goddess's shoulder, "you shouldn't have to apologize for that jerk's
actions."

   Belldandy nodded and smiled.  

   The Kunos took that as their cue to make an appearance, but....

   "PINK LADY'S SUGAR BOMB SCATTER!!"

   The Kunos were blasted by multiple pinks balls which exploded into 
dust around them, causing them to sneeze uncontrollably.   Kuno then 
recovered.  "Who dares throw pink dust upon the mighty Thunder of 
Furikan High?"

   Thunder echoed in the distance.

   "That would be me."

    Everyone looked up to see Sailor Chibi Moon...with wings... 
floating above them.

   "Huh??" was what everyone had to say.

   "Well?" Chibi Moon said.  "Did you think you were the only ones to 
get power ups?"  She then posed.  "I am the pretty suited sailor 
soldier of the eternal moon of the future, Eternal Sailor Chibi Moon!! 
 In the name of the future moon, I shall punish you!!"" she said, doing 
all the little gestures.

   "No one throws dust at the mighty Thunder and get away with it! 
Defend thyself and thy honor, for you are about to taste the power of
my mighty bokken!" Kuno said.  Then he charged.  

    In response, Chibi-Moon retrieved the Crystal Carillion from it's 
hyperspace pocket.  "TWINKLE YELL!!"

    Kuno was promptly trampled under the hooves of the Pegasus.

    Kodachi then lept at Chibi-Moon.  "You'll pay for that dust!!"

    "RAINBOW CRYSTAL MOONSHIELD!!"

    Kodachi bounced off a rainbow shield surrounding Chibi-Moon, which 
was being projected from Sailor Moon's Celestial Staff.  

    "No one attacks my daughter like that." Sailor Moon said.  
"Chibi-Moon, you have any more tricks?"

    Chibi-Moon nodded.  

    Chibi-Moon twirled arond on the ground, and pink dust rose in the 
air, along with a pink heart, which Chibi-Moon then took in her hands.  
The heart turned into the Pink Heart Moon Scepter.  "PINK HEART..."  
Twirling around some more, she pointed the Scepter at Kodachi, the dust 
gathering at the tip of the Scepter along with a pink energy ball.  
"...SUGAR KISS!!!"  The energy ball left the Scepter, leaving a trail 
of dust as it hit Kodachi and knocked her back...

   ....in time to be hit again, this time by Akane's mallet.  She went
sailing into LEO.  Ranma was not far behind in sending Kuno into LEO
as well.

   Carter sighed.  "And to think, we have two more days to go."

   Venus then popped up.  "Right!! So let's get to it everyone!"

   Everyone, including Chibi Moon, facefaulted.

   --September 12, 2000--

   The next day was filled with interesting incidents, from the 
painting of the bride and groom by renown painter Yumeno Yumei, to the 
Crystal Knights rehearsal for the wedding, to the usual last minute 
mishaps (most of them somehow caused by either Minako or Mihoshi's 
appearance). 

   On the other side of town, Wasshu and Ryoko were trying their hand 
at matchmaking.  Their targets: Tenchi, and Wasshu's blue haired 
friend. Unfortunately, the Mihoshi Effect seemed to stick to them 
today, for every attempt to get the two of them to "accidentally" bump 
into each other met with comical failure. 

   Even Urd, when she was called in, failed as badly as Ryoko and 
Wasshu had.  Urd was about to try her ultimate move: the Cupid's Arrow 
of True Love (or Large Explosions, depending on whether the stupid 
wires were crossed or not, according to Skuld) when a hand came out of 
a mirror near a rug Wasshu's friend was standing on...and pulled the 
rug out from under her.  Yelping out, the woman fell.....right into
Tenchi's arms.

   "Uh..hey! Are you all right?" Tenchi asked.

   "Er..yes, I just lost my footing, that's all."  she replied, turning
around to get a look at who caught her....and gasped.

   Tenchi was doing the same. "Uhh...okay...err....glad you're all
right....err...?"

   "Uh...Tsunami.  Glad to...to ...meet you. Yeah, that's it."

   "Oh...well...I'm Tenchi.  You...you want to get something to eat?"

   "Uh...yeah, why not?"

   And the two walked off, leaving a space pirate, a mad scientist, and 
a goddess (second class, limited) to stare agape...until Belldandy 
waved from the mirror near the fateful rug.

   The three facefaulted.
