When they found that they could not shake Sailor Juno off Chibimoon, Chronos had agreed to let her come along, intent on leaving the scene before the police arrived. On hindsight, using her Season Escalation had brought much more attention to the area, although the public could probably dismiss the scene as fake small. Explanations she desired for would wait for later, the main priority of everyone's was to take care of Chibimoon. Neso lay the pink-haired girl into the bed that used to be Elke's while Flora went to get the first aid kit.
Upon entering her room, Chronos had powered down into Serenade, and had urged the rest, even the one named Sailor Juno, to do the same. "She'll be fine." Serenade Soriano said to the Amazon Senshi. "Even though she is young, she is strong." Age wasn't a measure of strength, especially when one was involved in a war. So many of them had matured so much, especially Elke, her own Soldier.
There were so many questions she had, for both Juno and Chibimoon, and Juno probably had some for her too. Now as Chibimoon lay safe and tucked in, her wounds tended to, Serenade looked at the green-haired girl. Hopefully they could clear some things up before Chibimoon awoke. "She is my cousin." She stated. She didn't know exactly who, but at least, knew that this girl was part of the Moon family and therefore, related to her. "I am Princess Chronos of the Zodiac. And you are?"

-Sailor Juno had been particularly clingy as they made their way through the city and the chaos outside, even despite Chronos' permission to come along. In truth she was terrified that they'd still try to shake her off, that she might lose what she'd finally found. It wasn't until they'd finally crossed the threshold of a room that she'd finally felt safe enough to let go of the hand she was holding and let the tall male senshi do what he would.
Hovering around the bed like a fly on honey she continued to pace even as some of the others had settled in. How bad were her wounds? When would she wake up? Serenade's words of reassurance were what finally stopped her, pausing at the foot of the bed. The adreneline was finally beginning to fade, the many wounds, superficial as they might be, were finally beginning to throb. Her fingers drifted to the bits of frosting smeared across her skin and fuku, becoming finally aware of the scent Sailor Roslind had so kindly graced her with. Juno had been slightly afraid that her princess might not recognize her if she wasn't transformed, but now she realized that she didn't want to be seen like this either.
Fuku, cake, and vomit slipped away into the subspace leaving behind a girl whose green hair was still braided and tied at the edges with silly little snakes. She was young, though not quite so young as her princess, her skin dark and foreign. Lowering herself to the ground tiredly, she rest her back against the bed, eyes lifting to try and follow the information being addressed to her. Aitana looked over the girl who claimed to be princess softly, taking in the details of the room and people in it only finally now. Her allegences to Chronos would be like her one towards the moon queen, contingent upon how her own princess asked her to regard them. But nonetheless Aitana was grateful to the girl.
Sighing a little, weariness evident on her accent laden voice, she answered the best she could. There was so much TO say really. But how much of it was important?.- "I am Sailor Juno. Part of the Amazon Quartet. Juno, Pallas, Ceres, Vesta" -Her fingers lifted, one for each quartet member as she listed their names.-
"We were guardians before, in a life before this."
"Not long ago we hear the voices call and we come once more. We have been searching for her, our princess..." -Her eyes drifted back over her shoulder to the sleeping figure that lie there.-

When the princess let her fuku fade, so did Sailor Neso. He went from a tall, shining senshi to a still tall, less shining Bodhi Hanley. It had been a bit of a challenge to carry both the fallen Chibimoon with the persistent green-haired senshi tagging along so closely, but Bo was not bothered. He understood feeling that kind of dedication. It was exactly how he felt about the princess and the other handmaidens. Perhaps this stranger was very close to the pink princess?
The senshi of summer was not one to ever interrupt, but he felt as though an introduction were in order. "I'm Sailor Neso, Senshi of Summer," he said, grinning as if this was not a tense situation, as if they were just hanging out in someone's dorm room. He touched lightly at Serenade's arm. "I am one of her seasonal handmaidens. There are three others, for the other seasons." Feeling as though he had made his contribution, Bo slipped back to allow to the two girls to talk through this.
Bo crossed to the other side of the bed and took a seat on the floor. His head poked well above its edge, giving him a clear view and keeping him out of the way. "Amazon Quartet?" Bo chimed in, looking uncertainly between Serenade and Juno. Why did that sound familiar to him? His memories were not whole ones like the Zodiacs, or like the princess. So he looked weakly toward the princess, waiting for some clarification.

Flora had left earlier after helping to clean Chibimoon's wounds; explaining quietly that living with her parents (for now) meant having to account to them that she was alright after the whole craziness at the Halloween masque. Serenade had let her go, with the promise that she would call to assure the senshi of spring that the moon princess (whichever one she was) was well.
"A life before?" Serenade echoed, eyebrows knitting in confusion. Did Juno mean during Chronos' own past life, where they all lived in space? But no, she had never seen this senshi at all, never seen this pink-haired princess before during then. The Princess Serenity she knew had silver hair, like the moonlight, not pink. Briefly, she recalled something Astraea, or Luna, had once shared. "...You mean in Japan?"
Serenade shook her head as Bo tossed her a questioning look. "Juno, Pallas, Ceres, Vesta, the asteroids." That was all she could think of, drawing from the recesses of Princess Chronos' memory, when she was once educated on many things in the Solar System. So technically, Juno and the other girls were Chibimoon's court. "She will be glad to see you when she awakens." While Chronos could not understand the devotion her own court had towards her, she, on the other hand, experienced a different feeling towards them. When her court was together, she had felt whole and complete.
The Negaverse might have won that round, but at least they had found someone dear to them.

-Four handmaidens. Her eyes seemed to scrutinize Bodhi as he offered his introductions. It seemed he may have been to Chronos what she was to be to Chibimoon. But if she had to chose the quartet was a better name. More like a football team as opposed to a cheerleading squad. That thought brought a momentary smile to her face, especially considering the size and stature of the boy.
Chronos' confusion was evident, to which Aitana sat back thoughtfully, trying to reach back into her memories. Really any of the other Amazons would have been better to ask.. Well.. atleast Ceres or Vesta, Pallas was probably as flighty as Juno. She was not one to dwell and so she had never really sat around and tried to piece together the strange things she'd one day suddenly remembered. What she finally offered was not much helpful than before, and offered a shrug that was almost apologetic.- "We have memories of things we did not do in this life."
"In a life before there was another queen. Nehelenia. But she was bad. We did not belong to her and she took us anyway. At the circus I was Jun-jun." -The later probably made NO sense whatsoever to the pair, but she didn't stop to explain, simply going on.-
"When we were saved we were not needed. She knew.. somehow.. that her daughter, Small Lady, she was our real princess."
-Her eyes turned back once more. It was no mistake. Even if they'd never received an identity to look for, she still would have known upon seeing her.- "The Queen Serenity sent us back to be reborn when her daughter was."

Any scrutiny that the revealed Sailor Juno was giving him went utterly unnoticed by Bo. He wrapped wide arms around his bent legs and rested his chin there, staring up at Chibimoon whenever he felt his concern for her health grow. The asteroids, the Amazon Quartet. He felt like he should know more about them, but he didn't. There were only faint glimmers of recognition spotting on the wide expanse within his head.
Nehelenia.
That felt more familiar. Again, Bo did not understand. Why could he never understand these things? Circus, he understood, but the smile it brought to his face seemed largely inappropriate. So he tried to get serious. "So you protect Chibimoon like I protect Princess Chronos," he echoed, though it was unnecessary. "If you're here, then where are the others?" His eyes moved back to Chronos, waiting for a sign from her that he should shut up.

"Because we don't...belong here..." It was hoarse and raw, the voice of the young woman on the bed, curled up on Elke's bed and trying her very hardest not to move. Every muscle in her chest screamed with the pain that was Beryl's reflection of her attack; strong enough to dust a youma and perhaps seriously wound a lieutenant, but not enough to truly eliminate her from battle.
It was very hard to not simply jump up and cling to the familiar Juno, puzzling over the very tall young man and why she was in Serenade Soriano's dorm room. She had been unconscious throughout the whole reveal that this girl was Chronos and that he was the Senshi of Summer, all Chibimoon knew was that Juno was here.
A hand slowly stretched out towards the Senshi of the Canopy, tears lightly dewing in her eyes with joy and pain before one ran down her cheek. "I do not understand, how did you get here? Where are...like he said." A light nod towards Bo. "Where are they? Who are you?" Head tilted towards Serenade and Bo, trying her hardest to pretend like she didn't know the girl at all.
Sometimes, it was not easy to be a senshi!

Nehelenia.
That name was more familiar to her than Bo, especially since they had met in person before. Serenade knew that Nehelenia had a pretty dubious past, but had been assured that they were on their side now when they teamed up. And now, Nehelenia was gone and she had lost an ally. Still, she didn't think it wise to bring it up. Juno perhaps, had still sore feelings towards someone who had used her, just like how Chronos felt towards Charonite.
However, it was the whole Serenity business that was confusing. Queen Serenity had another daughter? She opened her mouth to ask more, but the voice that came from the bed instinctively made her rush over to her side. "I'm Princess Chronos of the Zodiac." She introduced herself with a nod of her head. "Are you alright? I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from Beryl..."

-What Chibimoon lacked in movement Aitana made up for the moment she realized where the third voice had suddenly come from. Legs unfolded in a mess, the girl clamoring over herself until she was near enough to grasp the offered hand with one of her own, her other hand coming to rest a little further up the princess' arm.- "We are all here! All together." -She reassured excitedly, her eyes transfixed despite answering both of their questions at once.-
"A voice called us and we all came to Destiny City as exchange students. We found each other. Have been looking for you ever since."
"I do not know why they did not come to the party but I can get them."
-The pressure on Chibimoon's arm grew as Aitana's grin did.- "We can be all together now." -She couldn't even begin to fathom how she was going to tell the others of her luck. How excited the rest of them would be. If she could have stolen the princess away now and gathered everyone she would have. But early am hours and a wounded princess put a damper on that plan.
She was careful to make enough room as Chronos came to the bedside, though she didn't leave her kneeling seat on the ground or careful grasp.- "Thank you for helping my princess"

When Chibimoon spoke, Bo sprang to his feet. He slowly crossed to the other side of the bed so that he could stand closer to Serenade. She revealed who she truly was, and so, like always, Bo followed suit. "I'm Sailor Neso, Senshi of Summer." He paused. "Or just Bo. Hi." He offered a brief wave.
Even though he wasn't entirely sure what was going on, Bo could tell it was something incredibly significant. He remembered the first time he saw Chronos again in this new existence. Andeon had put a bow on his head and dragged him all the way to Crystal Academy. Never before had he felt so complete. It was touching to see it happening in front of him.
So touching that Bo leaned forward and attempted to wrangle all the girls into a big group hug.

Shock, shock, pain, and giggles. They were the things that rippled through the tiny princess' body as Bo grabbed them up into a hug, the giggles also spilling from her mouth as she tried to give it back as much as possible. Hugs were very rare, though Uncle Perry was unconsciously becoming more and more affectionate as she slowly forced herself upon him. But this was a big hug, and easier than she thought.
Shaking her head and lightly pushing with a smile, Chibimoon touched her brooch and Coralie Williams was sitting on Soldier Virgo's old bed. "Well Chronos, I am sorry that I did not come to you sooner." A hand was still grasped very tightly in Juno's, eyes welling up now with happiness that not only was she not alone, Chronos had forgiven her enough to help her. Bo got probably the widest smile yet. "And it was nice to meet you like that, Bo!" Not all of the cheery little Rabbit had gone out of Chibiusa, and it was probably more than a bit of relief to Juno, whose hand she clutched like it was life itself.
"Thank you for helping me, and allowing Juno to stay with me. You are all here? All? Ceres? Pallas? Vesta?" Her voice trembled with the names, bowing her head for a moment. "I didn't think...oh I am sorry!" Fingers mopped at her face, still in the elegant white dress of the White Queen. What a night!

"I didn't do much." Serenade told Juno with a small frown. But the sudden group hug made Serenade smile, and laugh along with Chibimoon. Bo was always a great comfort in initiating these hugs, and she was deeply appreciative of the presence of his optimism in her life.
"Coralie." She said, eyes wide with surprise as things clicked in her mind. Of course! That was why the younger girl had seemed so familiar and why they had connected so well. Serenade was glad to know that Coralie was her cousin, to have some company; being a Princess was hard.
"Forgive me, but... you are Queen Serenity's child? I'm sorry; I have met many Serenitys." Serenade's smile was apologetic and she explained. "My aunt, the Queen Serenity, and my cousin, Princess Serenity, and Black Lady Serenity."

-The hug that she was suddenly swept into was a surprise, one that she wriggled within for a moment instintively before being taken over simply by what was going on. She was so close to her princess, the sound of joyed laughter filled the room, there were so many smiles, so much warmth. It was strangely pleasant, so she fought it no more, simply grinning like a fool.-
"All four!" -She nodded enthusiastically.- "Now with you, five." -It was a number that before had contained little meaning to her, but now it seemed quite certainly like the best number that had ever been.
With her free hand, she patted her side for her cellphone, recalling all too late that she hadn't had pockets in her costume, and had had to leave it behind. She'd most certainly get the talking of a lifetime when she finally got home to her foster family, but it hardly mattered. Nothing would be capable of getting her down tonight.-

Bo released his armful of girls and sank back to Serenade's side. Aitana had tried to fight it. Clearly she had not spent enough time with the senshi of summer. She'd learn soon enough that random hugs were sort of part of the package deal. "Princess Chronos, you did plenty," he said. One hand reached out to pat her on the arm. The Zodiac soldiers existed to defend them all, but Bo existed to raise the spirits of their most modest monarch.
Okay, so maybe he was supposed to defend her too.
He kept his smile piqued for Chibimoon as she bubbled. It was nice to have some more smiles in the room, as always. "Hi, Coralie." He waved. "That's pretty." The menshi fell silent as the conversation turned back to serious business. Idly, he played with Serenade's hair. Very helpful.

In the sheer joy of finding two things she'd badly been missing, Allie had forgotten entirely about her poor guardian. No doubt Perry was frantic with worry and had several government organizations out looking for her, but used to being on her own for so very long, the teen didn't even consider that someone was looking!
"Thank you, I had a lot of like for the name when I saw it on the computer so I stole it." It seemed a bad thing to lay back down no matter how badly her body screamed, so the young lady just sat there with her hand in Aitana's before answering Serenade in a storyteller's voice. "I was born Tsukino Usagi, Small Lady Serenity, Princess of Crystal Tokyo. Tsukino Usagi, Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity was my mother. Chiba Mamoru, Prince Endymion, my father. To me, they were named Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion. The queen at the ball is my...ah. Obachan?" Her face was helpless at a word she did not know. Mother and father were easy, and she had learned cousin specifically to speak of Chronos with Wiseman. Grandmother was a harder one, and not one she'd ever used. "Mother's mother."
This part was harder, and she wanted to shy away. "A time ago, I was Black Lady Serenity." Fingers flexed and gripped just a bit tighter on her guardian senshi's own. This was not an easy thing for her to face, and it was why the tiny girl had been avoiding Crystal Academy. Not that it had mattered, apparently the blood spoke to each other no matter what form they were in! "But I was very angry then, and that time is gone. I have tried to undo what I did, but there is not much..." Her voice trailed off into labored breathing and a hand to her ribs. Moon Gorgeous Meditation hurt like a b***h. "I am sorry."
It never really occurred to Allie to explain that she was from the future. She hoped that was rather obvious.
