After the glow that was Sailor Giclas and Sailor Abramov teleporting to the Homeworld of Giclas vanished, Dani turned to her older brother and sister. "So, what do you guys want to do now?" She asked.

Drew looked over almost covertly at his twin Dria and she nodded in agreement. "You mean what do you want to do now?" Dria asked her, smiling.

"What do I- What do you mean by that?" Dani asked in puzzlement. "You two are up to something." Her suspicion was high.
Drew raised his eyebrows. "Has our younger sister forgotten her own birthday, after obsessing over it for months?"

Dani grinned, "My birthday? But it's not for another two months." It was Dria's turn to grin. "It's not every day a younger sibling turns 13. Besides, with all the time that Drew has taken off work lately, he's not going to be able to take much more off in the near future." Drew nodded in confirmation, and added, "And Dria won't be able to have much free time once her semester starts again. So, we agreed to have it now, when we are here together and can speak about almost anything."

Dani was now super excited. "I'm guessing you have activities planned?' Drew brought out some board games, and of course they swam. Dria cooked dinner - Dani's favorite. Then Dria brought out the presents. There weren't very many, as they were just ones from Drew, and Dria, but then Dria brought out some from some powered friends, and Dani grinned.

Dani looked up finally and asked, "Where is Dari?" Drew and Dria looked at each other and frowned. "What?"

Drew grunted. "He went out to find you a birthday present, of all his own." "You say that that like it's bad thing?" Dani frowned confused by her brother's tone. "It is when he is a Cat and a kitten at that, and you're a Human Girl." Dani frowned some more. "What does that mean?" Drew sighed. "I mean that he said, and I quote, "I'm going to find her the best present ever- I'm going to stalk the woods, till I find the biggest, juiciest mouse ever - everyone loves a fresh mouse." Unquote."

Dani frowned, trying to keep birthday cake down. "Well... at least... his heart in the right place."

Drew smiled. "Now, I have presents for everyone." He made sure to say it loud enough for even a kitten hunting in the foliage 30 feet away could hear. Suddenly, a silver ball of fur with gold specks glinting in the sun, shot out of the woods and in the next second, Dari was seated on Drew's shoulder. "Sorry, Aunt Dani, the woods seem fresh out of mice today, I'll have to hunt you one another day."

"Oh no! That is too bad!" Dani said in mock horror, and inwardly sighing in relief. "Oh, you don't have to go through all that trouble for me, Dari - I already have enough gifts."

"Ahem," Drew cleared his throat. Everyone turned their attention to him. "I'm going to go right out and say it. These are not exactly gifts -" "Daddy no! That's improper! You don't give something out and then ask for it immediately back, especially at a birth-" "Dari, I am not asking for them back. They are not gifts, because they were yours in the first place - " "Daddy, you stole them, that's very naughty of you-" "Dari, they were not stolen either - now if you will hear me out... okay, so I was restoring my Homeworld, specifically the Library, when I found what could only be everyone's quarters - while they stayed there. I have yet to make it through all of them. But I found each of these things in our past life quarters, and I thought you all would like them back."

Dari, Dria, and Dani blinked and nodded.

Drew opened his bag. "You first, Birthday Girl." He smiled a small smile. He pulled out a small decorative chest. "From my studies, I believe this is a Memory Chest." He handed it to her. "I have no idea what it does, but it is locked tight as you can tell." Dani took it, memorized by it. "I'll let you know what it does or has in it." "No worries."

Drew placed Dari on the ground and said to him smiling, "You are probably going to flip out if you don't get yours next, aren't you?" Dari flipped out, almost screaming, "I'm next! I'm next! I get a present! I get a present!" Drew sighed and rolled his eyes, "And you'll flip out anyways." He then pulled out a small glass jar with some sort of golden wisp of light floating around in it. Dari stopped screaming and dancing around immediately, to turn and stare at it, cocking his head in confusion. "What is it?" "It's called a Golden Wisp. Again, that's all I know."

He turned to Dria. "Hey Sis, last but not least." They shared a look and a bond (that had been shaken lately with the news of how their past lives had ended) but that they understand each other's thoughts with a single look. And the message he shared now was that no matter what, he still cared for her very deeply and she him.

He pulled a silver necklace with deep cool colored stones - the center stone carved in the image of a mermaid. "As you can see, this is a Mermaid Necklace. It too is said to have powers. but I know not what they are." He handed it to Dria, who marveled at it.

"And then, I found one item, myself, in my quarters in my stuff." He said as he pulled out the last thing - an ancient looking device. "I don't know how it works yet, but it's called a Moon Hologram." The others crowded to have a look.

The next day, at the appointed time, Sailor Giclas and Sailor Abramov arrived. Giclas powered down to Dawn and collapsed and they put her in her sleeping bag in her tent that she was 'sharing' with Dria and Dani. Meanwhile, Abramov powered to Davie and briefed them - apparently, not only had they got some good work done on restoring a village (an interesting village at that) but discovered that Giclas had been High Priestess, leader of the butt-kicking Lady Guard, and Empress in her past life, among other information about Giclas in the past. Furthermore, Sailor Giclas had earned a marvelous Passive Ability; an Enhancement - not bad for a 48-hour trip.
