Part 1

The sun’s dawning kiss upon the city of Tokyo found Serena comfortably, and sleepily laying in bed, Darien’s bed to be more precise. His head was resting on her shoulder; his slow and steady

breathing of sleep sent warm and gentle caresses along her partially exposed breast. She lay there, thinking about how wonderful last night had been. How his breath was like his gentle touch of last night. A small shiver of excitement shot through her then. Darien had seemed excited, and a

little disappointed too. The disappointment was because she had once again told him that she was going to wait until she was older to have intercourse.

Not that the petting they were doing didn’t please him. Maybe she should have given him a little more attention before she left for home. Reaching up, she gently brought Darien’s head upwards so she could kiss him. To feel his lips, to taste him. Slowly his eyes opened and stared

deeply into her blue orbs. For that incredible instant, the world was still.

"Good morning, Muffin," Serena whispered out.

"Good morning, Meatball Head," he replied while tracing a finger from shoulder to nipple. The already semi-erect nipple grew harder as he circled it, first with his index finger and then with his tongue. She at that moment wished her breasts were larger than their 30B size. They stood out proudly on her petite fourteen-year-old frame. Serena let out a little sigh as she cupped his head in her hands.

After a moment, he stopped and she felt the pang of loss. Opening her eyes, she drew him to her again and kissed him deeply, their tongues interweaving with each other.

Serena felt Darien’s arm slip around her slim waist. She felt his manhood pressing against her as he drew her tightly to him. Rolling, she found herself on top of him. His growing hardness pressing against her. Firmly but gently, she pushed herself away from his warm body and into a

sitting position. She felt the cool morning air wash over her naked body.

She started coaxing his erection along with her hands. Carefully bending forward, she kissed him. And after what seemed like an eternity, she felt his hands upon her. The feeling was one she never could describe, even if she wanted to. Slowly Serena moved hands up and down along the length of his member. She could feel the heat beginning to rise within her from Darien’s attention to her clitoris. It only increased as Darien urged her forward so he could take one of her supple

breast into his mouth. A tongue flicked across her nipple once again and she moaned.

The stimulation and excitement drove Serena higher and higher. Darien’s own sounds of pleasure, his ruddy heavy scent intoxicated her. Serena thought she would be kept teetering upon the brink of release until Darien stiffened. She knew he was about to shoot his load over her and that sent her over the edge.

The waves of pleasure crashed over her, as the fire was finally released. As it passed, she slowly sank down resting on top of him. His manhood softening but still within her loving hands.

"Serena..." he whispered softly.

"Darien..." she replied and snuggled closer to him.

"OH, COOL OFF!" came a high-pitched voice. Neither Serena nor Darien had time to react as a deluge of cold water washed over them. Serena gave a little scream and rolled off her lover, trying to save some of her modesty. Darien was in no hurry to be exposed either.

"Rini!" Serena yelled at the little girl who was standing in the doorway. Serena had forgotten that she had firmly sentenced her "cousin" to sleep on the couch of Darien’s apartment instead of the same bed as Serena and her true love.

"Like I said, cool off!" Rini then pointed the hose she had been concealing behind her back at Serena and fired off another blast of icy water.

"Why you little spore!" Serena bellowed as she dodged to the side and fell from the bed. Scrambling, she put on the first set of underwear she grabbed before yanking on a shirt. Neither helped as Rini’s aim with the hose was true. "When I get a hold of you..." Serena raged as she scrambled to her feet. The now thoroughly drenched clothes clinging to her skin.

The seven year old dropped the hose and took off running with Serena following closely behind her. Rini might have gotten away if she had thought to unlock the front door first. She hadn’t and by the time she realized her mistake, Serena was nearly to her. "You made me sleep on that old couch!" she complained, "And then you kept me awake by yelling!"

"I don’t yell!" Serena yelled. Seeing a chance, the little girl tried to dodge between Serena’s legs but she was ready for this and caught her cousin. Shifting, she bent and lifted the struggling child into the air.

"Let me go or I’ll tell Aunt Irene!"

"Go ahead," Serena growled as she headed for the couch, "I’m quite sure she’ll agree with me."

"She won’t like you sleeping with Darien!"

"She already knows," Serena replied.

"Huh?!?" Darien asked in a horse voice. He had taken the time to pull on a set of track pants. "She knows?!?"

"You’re lying!" Rini protested.

Serena stopped and shifted her cousin so she could look into her large red eyes. "Listen here, I might be a klutz and I might pig out on food but I DO NOT LIE!" When Rini’s angry gaze looked away, she gave a nod of satisfaction and proceeded the rest of the way to the couch. Sitting down, she put Rini over her knee and pulled down both pajama bottoms and underpants.

"NO NO NO!" Rini howled in realization. Serena ignored her and started smacking the misbehaving child’s bottom. The entire time Rini wailed and struggled, kicking her feet and flailing her arms. Serena ignored all of it until her cousin’s bottom was a pink as her hair. Satisfied, Serena pulled the lowered clothing and stood the child upright.

Immediately Rini started hopping around, rubbing her bottom trying to work the heat out of it. Her face was red with crying and embarrassment, eyes and cheeks glistened with tears.

"You get dressed and wait for me. Once I’m dressed, we’re both going home," Serena said sternly before turning and stalking back into Darien’s bedroom.

Once the door was shut, Darien asked, "Your mom knows?"

"Yes," Serena answered, "If she didn’t, do you think I could spend so much of my evenings over here? As long as we’re careful, Mom’ll handle Dad." Darien still wasn’t happy about the revelation but Serena kissed him. And as usual, he forgot about those worries. Darien could only watch as Serena fussed over her damp clothing.

"I’m really sorry, Muffin, but I should go home." Sighing a little, Serena turned and left the bedroom. Her uncharacteristic exclamation drew Darien from his daze. Coming out, he noticed what had caused Serena reaction. Rini was gone! The front door left wide open.

"Oooh!" Serena said with great annoyance, "This is just great!"

"Maybe we should split up and look for her," Darien suggested.

"Guess so," Serena replied, "Well when it hits the fan at home, I probably won’t be able to come over tonight."

"Serena," Darien said, "Did you forget I have to work tonight... remember?"

"Oh yeah..." Giving him a sheepish grin, she sighed again, "Okay, I’ll start looking for the little spore. Maybe she went home to complain to Mom." Giving him a quick kiss, she skipped from the apartment.

"Rini must have used Luna Ball for the hose." He was going to have a hell of a time explaining the water to his building superintendent. Walking over, he closed and locked the door before picking up the phone. After dialing a number, he waited. "Hi Raye, wanna take a ride?"

"It’s been two weeks!" Raye replied.

"I know, I know," Darien soothed, "Come on, Serena’s just left. She’ll probably get grounded and not be back today." He smiled as Raye almost purred. "That’s right. No more worrying about the klutzoid showing up."

"I still don’t see why you even stay with her. She’s an immature brat," Raye replied.

"Simple, she’s the Moon Princess and that’s the only reason," Darien replied, "So what about it?"

"I’ll be right over."

Rubeus paced around his crystal spaceship floating above the city. "Damn those Sailor Scouts!" his voice echoing within the ship, "Damn those traitorous Sisters!" And yet again, the Rabbit had slipped by him. The voice pulled him from his thoughts. Quickly turning, he found himself looking at the cloaked and hooded figure of Wiseman.

"Rubeus, I have good news for you," Wiseman said, his voice black and cold, "Prince Diamond has been persuaded to give you one last chance."

"How?!?"

"Patience," Wiseman cautioned, "Being hasty was how you lost the Sisters." Rubeus growled with barely surprised anger. "Take this gem." With a flick of his skeletal hand, a black gem appeared in front of Rubeus. When the villain had taken it, the cloaked figure continued, "When you see the Rabbit and Sailor Moon together, use its powers. Leave then."

"What does it do?" Rubeus asked suspiciously.

"It will make the Rabbit into a an adult. This we must have. She will be unable to hide so easily. It will also take the fight out of Sailor Moon."

"An adult Rabbit?" Wiseman was pleased to see a lustful gleam come into his lackey’s eyes. "You know where she is, Wiseman?"

"At the docks," Wiseman answered, "Rubeus, do not fail or you will never return home."

"Is that a threat?"

"Only a prediction." And as Rubeus started laughing, Wiseman faded from sight.

As Serena walked towards her home, she brooded. It would just be like that little spore to run home and tell her mother and probably blow the facts out of proportion. Serena would then be grounded for sure, and yelled at, for something Rini had done. It was the typical thing but she wasn’t going to stand for it, not this time anyway. After all, school had let out for the summer and Serena was not going to spend the first part of it confined to her home, if she could help it. She had, reluctantly, let Rini come along to the movies with Darien and herself. And it wasn’t that unusual for both of them to stay over at Darien’s for the night. Irene knew and took care of Ken.

This arrangement had its price. Firstly, Serena couldn’t be alone with Darien as much as she liked. Getting Rini out of her mother’s hair was part of the agreement. Secondly, Serena had to promise that there would be no intercourse. Serena didn’t really mind that part; she was content to wait. It did help that Irene didn’t pry unless she was worried about Serena for some reason.

Ken likely knew what was going on, even if he pretended he didn’t know. Her father was smart and Serena didn’t have any doubts about her father’s ability to figure things out. She had never been able to fool him when she was younger. No, despite her father’s feelings, he wasn’t the big concern. The big concern was Sammy. If the little twerp ever did wise up to what was going on, if he hadn’t already done so, all of Tokyo would likely know about it.

A flash off to her left and a tightening of her heart pulled Serena from her gloomy thoughts. "Rini’s in trouble!" It looked like it was coming from the dock in the park. Serena should have known. Her cousin always went there when things were bothering her. Running into a nearby alleyway, she clasped her locket and shouted out her transformation phrase.

Rini was scared. Not only did Rubeus have her but also it was a long way down to the ground. She and her captor were floating more than thirty feet off the ground. She held still, quivering. Rubeus had promised to drop her to the ground if she struggled. Even her Luna Ball couldn’t help. Rubeus had taken care of her floating companion when he has snuck up on her.

"Soon, Little Rabbit, the big Rabbit will appear." His laughter sounded dark and very excited. "Soon Sailor Moon won’t be able to save you either." The only thing keeping Rini for crying was the real possibility of a long drop. She had confidence Sailor Moon would come though, she always did.

"Where’s that stupid twit?" Rubeus asked, "Maybe you need to send off another one of those silly beams." He turned Rini upside down and suspended her by holding one of her ankles. "Come on now, brat, send out that beam again!"

As Rini began to softly cry, a voice shouted out, "Put her down!" It was Sailor Moon! "For flying without a permit, I AM THE SAILOR MOON THE CHAMPION OF LOVE AND JUSTICE AND IN THE NAME OF THE MOON, I WILL RIGHT WRONGS AND TRIUMPH OVER EVIL AND THAT MEANS YOU!"

"So, Sailor Brat, you finally showed up."

"Drop her, Rubeus, or I’ll hurt you plenty!" Rubeus obliged and let Rini go. She plunged headfirst towards the lake below screaming the entire time. Sailor Moon ran out to the dock and in a might leap, cut Rini in midair before plunging into the lake herself. Both girls came up sputtering and choking.

"Now!" Rubeus cried. He lifted the gem that Wiseman gave him and fired off its dark energy. It came so fast that neither girl could do anything except stare in horror.

"That’s it?" Sailor Moon asked after the attack passed. She had only felt a tingling sensation.

"MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!" was heard as the other Scouts arrived.

"JUPITER THUNDERCRASH ZAP!"

Both attacks missed as Rubeus flitted out of sight and reappeared behind them. Giving them a grim smile, he launched his dark energy attack causing them to scatter.

"VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!" Venus’ golden chain soared high and wrapped itself around Rubeus who snarled.

"MERCURY ICE STORM SPLASH!" The column of coldness slammed into Rubeus. He launched another dark energy attack at Venus to break free of her chain before raising higher into the air.

"I will be back, Sailor Brats!" he promised, "I will be back and I will get the Rabbit!" As he left, the Sailor Scouts staring after him, Rubeus chuckled. A lewd thought ran through his mind that brought a smile to his face. "Yes, Little Rabbit, soon you will be a big rabbit... and I shall have you." That was such a delicious thought. His manhood rose to the occasion.

Part 2

Rini and Sailor Moon got out of the water with the help of the other Sailor Scouts. Kneeling in front of Rini, Sailor Mercury said, "You okay?"

Rini sniffled and wrapped her arms around Sailor Moon while crying softly, "I want my mommy!"

"Mercury, is she okay?" Sailor Moon asked as she knelt to hug Rini. Mercury used her VR visor and scanned both subjects. "Everything seems fine. I think she’s just scared."

"I gotta book it... I left something simmering."

"Oh, what are you cooking, Mars?" Sailor Moon’s tummy rumbled at the mere mention of food.

"Wouldn’t you like to know?" Mars shot back with a grin, "Get that child home and into some dry clothes. You’ll both catch pneumonia standing around dripping wet." Turning, the Fire Scout ran off.

"Mars is right, we should get you home," Sailor Moon said, "Mercury, if there’s any trouble with Rubeus’ attack, I’ll call you, ’kay?" Mercury nodded and walking closer, asked, "Can I talk to you for a second alone?" Sailor Moon shrugged, gave Rini a reassuring pat on the head, and walked off with the Blue Scout. A couple of minutes later, only Sailor Moon returned and held out her hand.

"Come on, Rini, let’s go home." The little girl didn’t waste any time in taking Sailor Moon’s hand and it was even more of a relief when Sailor Moon picked her up. Moving off, she called out to Jupiter and Venus, "I’ll see you guys later."

After a couple of minutes, Sailor Moon stopped and looked around. "Is he back?" Rini asked, her voice trembling.

"No, Pumpkin, old Rubble-head is gone." Setting Rini down, Sailor Moon grasped her locket and reverted back to Serena. The child gave a gasp of surprise, her red eyes large and round with shock.

"You... you’re Sailor Moon?" Rini asked.

"Yes, and you can’t tell anybody about it," Serena warned sternly, "Now come on, we need to get you home before you catch cold." Rini paused for seemed reluctant at first and then hopped up into Serena’s arms.

"Why didn’t you tell me?" Rini asked. She felt a little betrayed. Wanting to make sure Serena felt guilty, Rini made sure to wince when her bottom was pressed by Serena’s arm.

"Oh Rini... that’s a long story," Serena replied while moving off towards home.

The trip home was made as quickly as possible. Serena tried to tell Rini why she never revealed herself as Sailor Moon. The reasons seemed to satisfy the child who just hugged her neck and didn’t talk.

When they did get home, Rini asked, "Do we gotta go in?"

"Don’t you want to?"

"Auntie will be mad when you tell on me. I’ll get inta trouble again."

"Don’t worry about that, just let me handle it, ’kay?" Rini sighed. She’d probably be in for another spanking. "Hey, you trust Sailor Moon so trust me."

"Okay," Rini agreed reluctantly.

When they entered the house, Serena took her shoes off and called out a greeting. Irene came in from the kitchen and gave a little squeak of concern. "What on earth happened?!?" she demanded as she quickly moved down the hallway to inspect Rini.

"Rini wouldn’t stay with me when I told her to. She had a little tumble and went into the lake."

Irene placed her hands on her hips and glared at Rini. "Little Miss, I thought I told you to listen to Serena." The little girl just sniffled. "I seem to remember telling you what would happen if..."

"Mom," Serena cut in, "I already had a long talk with Rini. Maybe we should get her a nice warm bath before she catches cold." Rini sneezed then to prove her cousin’s point.

"All right, have her change in the bathroom though. I don’t want water dripping on the carpets." Serena’s stomach rumbled so she asked, "Have you two had any breakfast?"

"Nope!"

"Well have a bath, and get warm first and then, I’ll make you something nice and hot to eat."

"You’re the best, Auntie!" Rini said with a little more energy and gave her "aunt" a smile as she was carried up the stairs.

Sitting Rini on the toilet lid, Serena started working on the wet laces of Rini’s shoes. "Are you sure you’re okay?"

"Yeah, I’m fine," Rini said, "You didn’t have to lie to your mom."

"I didn’t," her cousin replied, "I told the truth." Getting one shoe off, she started working on the other one. "You want a bubblebath?"

"Yeah, just start the water."

Serena paused in her work and looked at Rini. "Hey kiddo, you want to do this? I just thought these laces might be a little tough ’cuz they’re wet."

To Serena’s surprise, Rini started to softly cry. The child angrily wiped at her tears as she said, "How come you’re being so nice? You knew I needed the Silver Crystal." Serena knelt and hugged Rini. "I want my mommy..." That fall had just been too close for comfort.

"I know, Rini," Serena replied while resuming her work on the other shoe, "But you know why I can’t give it to you. Would you want your friends to be hurt by Rubeus?"

"No," Rini admitted. Sniffling a little, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Would you have a bath with me?"

"Well, I do need to shave... and I am cold," Serena replied, "Okay, but let’s get you undressed first."

"Rini," Serena said as she sunk up to her neck in pink bubbles of the large bathtub, "I said don’t worry about it."

"But Aunt Irene will think I’m a baby that doesn’t know how to use the toilet." Rini was also up to her neck in pink bubbles and looking rather glum. "How’d you know about it anyway?" Serena hadn’t acted surprised when they had seen the soiled underpants.

"Amy told me. Look, we’ll just toss your underpants into the washer for a quick wash with mine and then put them in the dirty clothes hamper. Mom won’t know you had brown streaks in ’em and she won’t know that you got them because Rubeus dropped you from up in the air." Rini still looked glum so Serena added, "Cheer up, Rini. It’s just between us girls. Mom ’n’ Dad won’t know anything ’bout it. Sammy’s out of the house too."

"You don’t have to watch out for me. Even if Auntie makes you."

"Of course I do. I’m Sailor Moon. I just can’t let Rubeus think he can pick on you." Serena had pushed herself up and she was looking at her cousin thoughtfully. "I’m not happy about all the trouble you’ve caused but I wouldn’t want to see you hurt." Rini held her nose and breath and slowly submerged under the layer of pink bubbles. Sighing, Serena stood up and rinsing herself off under the shower, got out.

"Well, guess I better shave before my tummy gets any louder." She felt like going down and telling Raye she still hadn’t eaten. The Priestess wouldn’t believe it.

Rini slowly came back up and noticed Serena was gone. Looking around the bathroom, she saw Serena using a razor. First under her arms and then along her legs. It fascinated Rini. It seemed almost like a dance. She felt a little ashamed in disturbing Serena so she slid down so only her eyes were peeking over the side of the tub. Serena’s body was slim. Her frequent running to school and her Scout activities had given her a firm build and tight butt.

"Rini," Serena’s voice made her jump, "What are you looking at?"

"How did you see me?"

"I saw you in the mirror," Serena answered and turned around. "So what’s got ya so interested?" Rini blushed and sank back into the water again. She would have remained there until she was forced to breathe if Serena hadn’t gently poked her in the ribs. "Time to get out or you’ll turn into a prune, and you’re sour enough as it is." Rini stuck her tongue out but did as she was told.

"Well?" Serena asked.

Rini got a towel and started drying herself. She paused to look Serena over. Her teenage cousin had curves and breasts and hair down there between her legs. It was easy to see the beginnings of womanhood.

Serena began shaving most of her golden pubic hair off. Dropping her towel, Rini wandered over and watched for a long time. Rini looked down at her own flat chest and curveless body.

"I wish I was older, then I could shave... ’n’ have nice boobies like yours."

Pausing, Serena reached out and placed her hands on Rini’s shoulders, "Don’t worry, when you get older, you’ll get your own."

"I’m never gonna get older," Rini whined.

"Sure you will."

Rini sulked silently; everybody was trying to keep her little. Glancing up she asked, "You promise?"

"Everybody grows up sometime. And when it’s the right time for you, you’ll know." Serena grimaced. "Yuck, I sound like Mom!" She had complained about the same thing to her not that long ago. Despite her mood, Rini giggled. Serena smiled and rumpled her cousin’s pink hair. "Listen, I’m sorry I embarrassed you this morning."

Rini sighed and looked moodily at the ground for awhile. "I’m sorry too." Shuffling a little, she added, "Darien’ll really think I’m a kid, huh?"

"Want me to talk to him for you?" Serena asked. Rini nodded, looking a little happier about the situation. "Come on, the sooner we’re downstairs, the quicker we’ll eat."

"Mooom!" Serena whined late that afternoon, "I don’t need a babysitter!" She was fourteen years old, not some little kid like Rini. "And me and Rini won’t fight, honest."

"Rini!" Irene called up the stairs, "Come down here please!" A couple of minutes past before Rini came down the stairs. "What were you doing?"

"Um... nothing," Rini replied, "Did you want somethin’, Auntie?"

"Do you think you can behave with only Serena here? The babysitter couldn’t come tonight. Or do you want me to see if you can stay at Melissa’s?"

"Do I gotta go to Melissa’s?" Rini asked. She wouldn’t mind staying with Serena. She felt safe.

"No, you can stay with Serena... but she’s in charge. You misbehave and Serena can punish you."

"Okay Auntie, I’ll stay, if I don’t have to eat Serena’s cookin’."

"Listen here..." Serena began, caught the warning look from her mother. "Dad’s giving us pizza money." Ken seemed mildly surprised by this but after his wife nudged him with her elbow, he fished out his wallet.

"Here’s thirty dollars. Enough for pizza and ice cream for dessert. But I want the change, Serena." Serena pouted slightly. "Okay?"

"’Kay."

"You two be good, and try not to kill each other," Irene implored before she and her husband left.

"So, short-stuff, what do you want on that pizza?"

"Um... surprise me," Rini said, "I gotta do something." Turning, she ran up the stairs.

Serena watched her go. "WAITAMINUTE!" Serena screeched, "What did you do?!?"

Serena sighed and blinked into the darkness. Ever since her aborted masturbation session earlier that evening, she had felt very edgy. And the more she thought about her state, the more worked up she got. Rini’s presence was preventing her from doing anything about her situation.

Serena was also conscious of the tingling sensation that both she and Rini had felt while preparing for bed. Now though, it was stronger then ever and it intensified her sensitivity. Every little shift of her panties sent a shiver through her. Serena had nearly reached the point where she was willing to risk discovery when she felt Rini shifting beside her. After an enjoyable evening, her cousin had asked to be allowed to sleep in Serena’s bed. Still worried about her, Serena had agreed.

"Hey Rini." The little girl’s motions stopped and a pair of sleep filled eyes came around to look at Serena, "What’s the matter?"

"My pajama top is tight."

"Musta shrunk. Well, undo a button or two. Either that or get out, I need my beauty sleep for my vacation."

"So do I!"

"Both of you settle down!" commanded a sleepy Luna. Rini did as Serena suggested and felt the tightness lessen.

After a moment, Serena sighed. She was wide-awake. "Want another story?"

"No... what about a hug?" Anything to get the kid to sleep; so Serena hugged her and after a moment or so, Rini was lightly snoring. Serena spent the next few minutes thinking about that day’s events before finally falling asleep herself and began dreaming about Darien.

Morning brought some distressing realizations. Serena was smaller than she was the day before while Rini was bigger. This was easily judged from their pajamas. Serena’s were looser than they should be and Rini’s were tighter. Even worse was Serena found she no longer could fill her B-cup bra. Her breasts were probably barely A-cup now.

That was a beginning of a rough day for both girls. Serena pulled on a smaller pair of pink shorts and a tank top. Rini went with a pair of red shorts and one of Serena’s smaller T-shirts. Thankfully, neither Irene nor Ken noticed any difference when both girls came down to eat breakfast.

"Mom?" Serena said, "Is it okay if me and Rini go over to Lita’s?"

Irene smiled a little and said, "You’re going to take Rini?" Serena nodded. "All right then, but be home for supper."

"Okay Auntie," Rini replied. She felt a little disappointed at being told to come home for supper but maybe if she and Serena got along, they could con Irene into letting them stay longer.

Breakfast went fairly smoothly with Irene commenting that they’d likely have to get Rini a new swimsuit. She also commented that maybe she should pull out some of Serena’s older summer clothing for Rini to wear. While Rini shoved cereal into her mouth, Serena shoved a piece of

toast into hers.

As they started walking towards Lita’s, Rini was mildly disappointed that Serena couldn’t carry her. The sudden growth, for that’s what she had obviously done, had vanished. She could tell that Serena was bothered, and the thought that Rubeus had done something to Sailor Moon was rather sobering to the little girl. Rini took Serena’s hand and they made their way to Lita’s apartment in silence.

"Hey, you two!" Lita greeted them after answering their knock, "What’s got your meatballs in a knot this early in the morning?" Both Serena and Rini blinked.

"You can’t tell?" Serena asked.

"Tell what?" Lita scowled at her for a long moment and then gave her a surprised looked, "Holy cow!"

"You’re tellin’ me," Serena replied darkly. She entered Lita’s apartment and heaved a sigh, "Call Amy and get her over here pronto."

"Maybe we should go to the temple."

"NO!" Serena said sharply and crossed her arms over her chest. "Raye and Mina don’t need to know. Please Lita, just call Amy."

"Are you sure, Ames?!" Serena whined an hour or so later, "Maybe you did it wrong."

"Serena," Amy said with some exasperation, "I did not do it wrong. You and Rini have aged. Rini is about nine and you are about twelve, or maybe, just shy of thirteen. My first scans show that you are regressing and Rini is progressing... and the process is continuing."

"I DON’T WANNA LOSE MY BREASTS!" Serena wailed. They seemed to be what Darien liked best about her body.

Lita allowed her friend to wail for a moment and then said, "Serena, is that all you can think about?!?" Serena quieted and sniffled. "Rini is growing up and if Ames is right, she’s gonna hit that time and not know what the heck is going on." Serena blinked in confusion.

"Time?"

"Yeah, you know," Lita flushed, "puberty and all that stuff?"

"Lita’s right," Amy added, "Maybe you should have ’The Talk’ with Rini... just in case."

"’The Talk?’" Serena queried. She was still wondering how she was going to break the news to Darien that her breasts were shrinking. During her last check, they seemed no more than AA-cup in size. If she got any younger, he’d have to wait that much longer. "Amy, you gotta stop this!"

"Serena," Amy said, "I’ll need to do some research but we were talking about Rini."

Serena looked around and noticed for the first time that Rini wasn’t there. "Where is she?" Serena asked.

"I think she went to the bathroom," Lita replied, "Amy’s right. You need to have ’The Talk’ with Rini like today."

Serena sat thinking about what Lita and Amy were saying for a long moment and then blushed. "Me... b-but I’m not her mom. I could get Mom to do it if you think it’s important."

"Honestly, sometimes I think Raye is right," Amy countered, "Serena, you can’t involve your mom in this. You know that perfectly well."

"Then you do it." Amy shook her head. "Why not?"

"Serena, you need to do this," Amy said firmly.

"Lita, can we use your bedroom?" Lita nodded. "Okay..." Serena reluctantly agreed, got up, and headed for the bathroom. "Rini?" she called out while tapping on the door, "Sweetie, are you done in there?" After a long moment, the door opened. "What’s the matter?" Serena asked as a very glum looking Rini came out.

"Nothin’," Rini replied.

"Come on, Sweetheart, we need to talk," Serena said and taking Rini’s hand, led her into Lita’s room and shut the door.

"Am I in trouble?" Rini asked.

"Nah." Kneeling, Serena stroked her cousin’s seemingly longer hair and smiled. "I just wanna talk about a few things. That okay?"

"Are they important?"

Serena gave Rini a concerned look. "Rini, what’s wrong?"

"I thought I was bigger," Rini sniffled out.

"You are. Amy was just telling me you’re nine."

"But it won’t work!"

"What won’t work?" Serena asked puzzled. Rini glanced downwards. Serena was puzzled for another moment before her eyes widened. Taking Rini by the hand, she led the little girl over to the bed and sat down. "Rini, you aren’t old enough yet. Does it hurt?" Rini shook her head and looked sad.

"How old do I have to be?"

"Well... that’s what I wanted to talk to you about." Rini lifted her head and stared at Serena in surprise. Serena tried to remember how her mom explained this to her a few years ago. "See Rini," Serena began, "everybody is different. And boys are different from girls."

"I know that," Rini said testily.

Serena grinned for a moment. "I don’t just mean that they have a penis. I mean they go through puberty at different times."

"What’s that?"

"Well puberty is when your body changes. You know how you wanted boobies?" Serena giggled and wondered if Amy would scold her for not using the proper words.

"Yeah."

"Well, I bet Lita was as flat as you when she was your real age."

"You mean when she was seven?" Rini asked.

"Yep, and then when she got older, puberty came along and now look at how big she is." Rini’s eyes widened in awe.

"Really?"

"Really."

"What else does it do?"

Serena considered what else to tell Rini and decided to give her a warning first. "Rini, when you start to change, boys will start looking at you funny. They’ll think you’re very pretty." Rini smiled. "But don’t ever let a boy touch your privates, and don’t let them be alone with you."

Rini seemed confused and a little upset. "But you let Darien..."

Serena sighed. "I trust Darien, and we both love each other." Giving it a little more thought, she added, "I just don’t want a boy to hurt you, Rini. Darien and I make each other feel good but we don’t have sex. I’m not old enough for that."

"Sex... is that when you make a baby?" Rini asked with a slight scowl. Serena grinned and pulled Rini to sit down beside her. She had thought this would be a chore but if Rini was going to go through puberty, she didn’t want Rini to be scared.

"I tell you what, I need to tell you some other stuff first. Then you can ask questions okay?" Rini nodded. It seemed fair enough to her.

Fifteen minutes later, Rini was sitting cross-legged and looking a little awed. "So I got a pee hole, a poop hole, and a baby hole?" she asked, more for reassurance than anything else. When Serena nodded, Rini grinned. "Thanks for tellin’ me, Serena." This was the first time of her life she didn’t feel treated like a little kid. Serena leaned forward and hugged Rini. "You’re welcome, sweetheart. I just don’t want you to get hurt." She gave the younger girl a serious look and added, "I want you to promise me something."

"What?"

"Amy says it isn’t stoppin’ so you’re gonna get older. Just... just promise me that you won’t have sex."

"You don’t want me to make myself happy?"

Serena chuckled. "No, Rini, I don’t mean that. Didn’t ya understand when I explained it?" Rini couldn’t think what Serena had said; her mind was so full of the other stuff they had talked about. She told Serena. The older girl just smiled and repeated it again.

Rini sat for a long time before she nodded, "I promise... least ’til I’m old enough."

"Good girl." Rini smiled and hugged Serena. "Rini, why don’t you go help Lita with lunch. Then we can all go shopping for swimsuits."

"’Kay." Giggling, the two girls hopped from the bed and ran out of the room. Serena smiled and then slipped quietly into the bathroom. Lita noticed her and smiled. Serena returned the smile but didn’t make any comment.

Locking the door, Serena undressed and moved to the toilet where she perched nervously. Cupping one of her much smaller breasts in one hand, she slowly started massaging the nipple. After a moment, she only felt the smallest of sensations. Taking the other nipple in her free hand, she tried to relax, to sink into the stimulation that she had known before.

At one point, Serena thought that she had lost the ability to masturbate but slowly the fire began to grow; painfully slow, it grew and seemed but a flickering flame.

Moving one hand from her breast, she started stimulating her clitoris and was again disappointed by the absence of the missing stimulation. When finally it came, Serena felt tired and worn out. The orgasm she had was like a mushed up cookie. She’d take it but would have preferred a freshly baked one.

Sighing, Serena cleaned up and washed. Then quickly dressing, she slipped from the bathroom to find the others waiting for her.

"I thought you fell down the hole," Rini replied, "Come on, I’m hungry!" Serena tried not to blush as Lita gave her a knowing look. Her stomach smelt food though and wouldn’t let anything interfere with its worship of Lita’s cooking.

"I wonder where Serena is?" Rini said late that afternoon, "Auntie told us to be home for supper."

"She’ll be here, Rini," Lita assured her. Serena had begged off going shopping, much to the surprise of Lita and Amy and to the disappointment of Rini. "You know her and Darien." She chuckled and Rini made a sour face.

Another few moments passed when a knock came. Rini scurried over to the door and opened it. "Serena?!?"

"Rini?!?" Serena replied.

Lita and Amy came over to see what was so shocking and stopped dead. Both Serena and Rini were the same height. Amy started another scan and nodded.

"I thought so," she mumbled out. Rini pulled Serena inside and looked at her worriedly.

"What happened, Serena? Didn’t you see Darien?"

"I did," Serena said softly, "But... he didn’t have any time for me." She could tell that he had rejected her, not because he was busy but because of her immature body. She had decided to take a long walk around the park. "You’ve grown some more," Serena observed, "I hope you didn’t waste your money on a bathing suit. You’d probably outgrow it." Serena’s own clothes appeared several sizes too large and hung loosely on her.

"I can use my Luna Ball to make it fit," Rini said, "I did it to my clothes." She twirled around. "I better do it to yours too."

"How old am I, Ames?" Amy appeared as tall as Lita used to appear to her.

"Eleven, maybe eleven and a half. Rini is ten. I suspected this would happen."

"Can you stop it?" Serena asked hopefully. When Amy shook her head, Serena sighed.

"Come on, we better fix your clothes and run... or Auntie will be mad at us," Rini said and grabbing Serena’s hand, pulled her towards the bedroom.

"Thanks for taking her shopping, guys!" Serena called over her shoulder before she disappeared into the bedroom and the door was shut.

Later that evening as the girls were dressing for bed, Serena turned to Rini and asked, "What’d you do to them this afternoon?" It had been strange being Sammy’s twin.

"I just made them think this is real," Rini replied, "I mean that you’re eleven and their daughter and I’m ten and your cousin." And best friend but she didn’t mention that.

"I guess I should sleep in my own bed."

"Why?"

"Because... ’Cuz I’m supposed to be ten," Rini replied and then sighed, "But I just look it." Even though she found growing up at this speed to be something she had always hoped for, she still felt unsure and scared.

Serena seemed to sense this and smiled. "You can stay here, Rini, if you want to. The bed might be a little crowded but I won’t mind."

"Thanks Serena," Rini replied and giving her same aged cousin a hug, slipped under the covers. Serena followed after turning out the lights.

"I thought Mom was going to spank you," Serena said after a moment or so, "What did you do to Sammy anyway?"

Rini blushed and was glad for the darkness. "I wanna forget that," she replied, "Auntie said that if I did anythin’ like that again, I’d really get it. Even if I was ten." They both lay in the darkness for a long time before Rini asked, "Serena, was Darien mean to you?"

For a long time, there was silence and then Serena replied, "To him, I’m just a little kid now." Serena thought about her breasts, which were only small bumps now. Rini seemed to sense the tears in Serena’s eyes. And as Serena started to cry, Rini turned away. "Rini..." Serena began.

"Sammy was right... I shoulda never stuck up for you."

Part 3

"Serena!"

The call jolted Serena out of her slumber. Sitting up, she scrubbed at her face with an oversized pajama sleeve. "Hmm... wha?" the sleepy preteen asked.

"What happened to you?!" Luna demanded sternly, "And what happened to Rini?!" Serena turned at the last question and gave a little gasp. Rini was bigger now. It was obvious that she had started budding as she approached the onset of puberty. Panicked, Serena glanced downward and gave a whine of protest.

"They gotta be here!" Serena wailed as she patted her flat chest and bleakly realizing that she, yet again, had lost part of herself.

"What’s goin’ on?" Rini asked groggily. Serena didn’t answer; instead, she threw back the covers and ran from the room. Sitting up, Rini rubbed the sleep from her eyes and stretched.

"Please!" Luna scolded, "Have some modesty... and tell me what’s going on!"

Rini looked blank for a moment and then felt the cool morning air graze across her skin. Looking down, she felt a slow smile cross her face as she noticed the starts of mounds forming on her chest where there had been none before. "Radical..." she said, lifting a hand to brush her new breasts. "Are they real?" She gave a mild yelp as she pinched a nipple. Giggling, she did it again. It was not the pain more than the strange new sensation that the action was generating.

"Rini! Stop that!" Luna scolded, "And cover yourself up." Reluctantly Rini did so but she couldn’t help but smile. Before Luna could ask any more questions, Serena came back into the room looking very glum. "What is the matter with you, besides you not being the right size?"

"It don’t work," Serena said as she flopped onto the bed. She felt like crying but simply pulled a pillow over her head.

"What doesn’t work?" Luna wondered.

"Mine didn’t either," Rini said, "But I bet it does now!" She stifled her giggle as Serena glared at her. "Yours will when you get older," she said repeating what Serena had told her the day before.

It took Luna another few minutes to retrieve the information out of the two girls. While Rini seemed to be ecstatic about the changes, Serena was looking dejected. Luna wasn’t too happy herself. "Why didn’t you tell me about this before?"

"’Cuz," Serena grumbled, "Nothing happened the first night and you were gone last night." The feline seemed mollified by this explanation. "Look, I’m majorly hungry." Getting up, Serena began to dress. She was about don her bra on when she sadly realized she no longer needed one. Flinging it onto the bed, she pulled a T-shirt over her head with a disgusted sigh. After poking her head through the neck hole, she noticed Rini trying on the discarded bra. "Give me that!" Angrily, she snatched it away from her cousin and shoved it into a drawer.

"What’d you do that for?!?"

"You don’t need one and besides, it’s too big for you."

"I could get Luna Ball to shrink it."

"Forget it," Serena retorted, "That’s my bra and it’ll only hold up my breasts!"

"Yeah, like you got any," Rini grumbled out.

Serena finished pulling the T-shirt on and noticed it was loose, even looser than what it would’ve been the day before. "Hey Rini, I’m sorry. You can wear it if you want."

"Maybe I shouldn’t. Auntie might notice."

"Well if she thinks you should wear one, then you can have it."

"Thanks," Rini said with a grin. Pulling on a tank top, she asked, "Can I wear these?" They were a pair of Serena’s shorts. "I gotta shrink them though." Serena shrugged. Grinning, Rini pulled those on and then headed out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Luna asked.

"I gotta pee," Rini replied.

"I’ll go with you," Luna said and headed for the door, "To make sure that’s all you do." Serena gave Rini a confused look while the other girl blushed.

"What do you have planned for today, girls?" Irene asked as she cleared the dishes from the table. Serena and Rini were more like best friends than cousins from what she could tell. She was glad than Rini was able to come for an extended visit.

"I thought we might go over to Lita’s," Serena answered around a piece of toast.

"Again?" her mother asked, "Maybe you should find something else to do today." She hated to impose on Lita again. Lita was a teen, after all, and these two are definitely a handful.

"Like what?" Rini asked.

"There are chores that need to be done. And I think maybe a little shopping trip."

"Shopping?" Serena perked up, "Whatcha gonna buy, Mom?"

Irene grinned and said, "I think somebody needs a training bra." She grinned at Rini who smiled shyly. "Are you okay, dear?" she asked Serena.

"Yeah fine. So what are these chores? I mean it’s summer time. I should be at the beach, or readin’ comics."

"What I want you to do," her mother said pointedly, "Is clean your room. It’s an absolute mess. I went in there to get the sheets for the laundry and I could hardly find the bed!" Serena rolled her eyes before glaring at Rini.

"You think that’s funny, huh young lady? Well, you’re gonna help too."

"Am not!" Rini replied, "I’m gonna go to Darien’s."

"You’ll help Serena, or you can work on your own room," Irene countered, "Just because you’ve been spending time in Serena’s room doesn’t mean yours is clean either, Rini." Now it was Serena’s turn to laugh. "Why don’t you two help each other. You’ll get both done faster and have more time for fun."

"Whatcha say?"

"’Kay," Rini agreed reluctantly. She had wanted to go see Darien.

Serena wiped her forehead as she turned the vacuum cleaner off. She noticed her hair was a little over half its normal length. "Oh, I’m so hungry!" Her mother hadn’t let her stop for something to eat and the candy bar that she had hidden was gone. Apparently Luna had snarfed it down.

"It’s almost lunchtime," Rini replied as she tugged at her tight blouse.

"Getting bigger, huh?"

"Yeah, you’re getting smaller too."

"Don’t remind me," Serena said with a sour look. "I bet you’re about eleven now."

"Did you always eat a lot?" Rini asked as she hung up one of

Serena’s skirts.

"I don’t eat a lot!" Serena protested and then grinned, "Well... okay, so I go overboard... sometimes... At least, that’s what everybody tells me."

"No, I meant when you were little."

"Don’t think so, why?"

"I’m hungry too. I mean extra hungry."

"You’re a growin’ girl," Serena observed and giggled. Rini giggled too. "Hey about last night, thanks."

"Sammy really shouldn’t pick on you."

"You did."

"But that ain’t the same!" Rini protested. "Do you think Auntie Irene really meant what she said? I need a trainin’ bra?" Serena nodded. "Can I have yours then?" She scowled as Serena shook her head. "Why not?"

Serena put down the stack of comics she had picked up and walked around to where Rini stood. She had to look up to meet her cousin’s eyes and a pang of despair shot through her. Forcing it away, she said, "Rini, getting your first bra is special. I remember Mom taking me to get mine. I know you don’t have your mom here but I think my mom taking you will be just as special."

Rini’s face shifted from a smile to a stricken look. "Hey kiddo, don’t worry, I said I’d help your mom." Rini just shook her head. "What’s the matter?" Serena asked concerned.

"I... I think I peed." Serena gave her a curious look. "I ain’t sure though." Blushing, Rini carefully lowered her shorts and let out a small cry. "I’m bleeding!"

Serena’s eyes enlarged. Her emotions battled within her but seeing the fear in Rini’s eyes, she tried to calm herself. "Rini, it’ll be okay."

"Okay?!?"

"Listen, remember our talk yesterday?" Her cousin nodded. "It just might be your period. Pull up those shorts and come to the bathroom and then, I’ll get Mom." Rini was distressed and Serena was as well. Coming out into the hall, she called out for her mother while gently moving her cousin towards the washroom. Hearing Rini sniffle, Serena gave her a smile and said, "Don’t worry, it’ll be okay." But the appearance of her mother was reassuring to Serena.

A while later, Irene sat on Serena’s bed and hugged Rini reassuringly. "It’s okay, Rini."

"I know, Auntie," Rini said softly, "I was scared." She smiled as Irene hugged her again.

"You’re going to become a very beautiful lady. This is the start of womanhood."

Rini was confused but she couldn’t help but blushing a little at her aunt’s comments. Irene smiled down at her niece and a longing for her mother ran through her. She glanced over at her daughter on the other side of her. Serena turned her face away, blushing herself, but Rini saw Serena’s clenched fists. Irene noticed this as well and giving Rini one more hug, said, "I remember you saying something about going over to Lita’s. Why don’t you go and phone her, Rini."

"Can we stay the night, Aunt Irene?"

"Yes, if Lita says it’s okay. Now go phone her."

"Thanks Auntie!" Rini got up and happily skipped from the room. Serena moved to follow her cousin but her mother caught her arm and gently settled her back onto the bed.

"What?" Serena said sharply. Her mother didn’t say anything. She simply got up and closed the bedroom door. Coming back over, she sat down on the bed again before wrapping her arm around Serena.

"Don’t be mad at Rini. She can’t help when her body changes."

"I know, Mom," Serena said sulkily.

"You aren’t much younger than Rini. I think you won’t have too long to wait for yours." Serena didn’t have any answer she could give. Even in her current mood, Serena felt a little better now that her mother was giving her a hug. "Serena, sweetie, I don’t think Rini will tease you. You’re still good friends." When Serena, yet again, didn’t respond, Irene added, "What if we get you a training bra too? Would you like that?"

"No," Serena replied sullenly, "Even that would be a lie."

"So you gonna go to Darien’s?" Serena asked as she and Rini walked down the street later that day. The sun was, once again, shining brightly in the clear blue sky.

"Nah, I wanna come with you to Lita’s," Rini replied and reached up to adjust her new training bra, "Maybe Amy’ll know how to stop this." Luna, who was riding on Serena’s shoulder, couldn’t believe her ears.

"You wouldn’t want this to stop," Serena accused her.

"Well, no. But it doesn’t mean I want you to get littler though."

"Oh..."

Luna’s movement caused Serena to wince. "Luna, have you been putting on weight? You’re gettin’ heavy."

Luna hopped off on to the ground. "Serena! It’s because you’re regressing."

"Oh... Right."

The trio walked in silence for another few moments before Serena asked, "Why did you want a sleepover?" Her cousin shrugged. "I guess it’ll be better than having to put up with that weasel Sammy." He was bad enough as a younger brother. She wasn’t sure she could handle him as an older one. He already seemed more aggressive than usual.

"Come on, Serena, cheer up. It can’t be all bad."

"I guess you’re right. I just wish Luna wouldn’t make me tell Raye ’n’ Mina. I’ll never hear the end of it."

"Now Serena," Luna chided, "You’re still Sailor Moon."

"That’s right!" Rini added in with pride.

"I don’t think you give Raye and Mina the credit they deserve."

"But Raye’ll try and take over."

Luna blinked and turning her head to look at Serena, asked, "Is that what you’re worried about?" Serena nodded. "Mina’s always been loyal, and so has Lita. I know Amy went with Raye when you two were fighting over it before but I don’t think she will this time. And I don’t think Raye will either."

"She’d better not!" Rini said sternly, "You’re Sailor Moon. Just ’cause you’re lazy and a crybaby and a klutz and a pig..."

"HEY! Who are you calling a pig?!" Serena demanded. Rini giggled and ran past Serena. "Come back here, you little spore!"

"I might be a spore but I’m not little anymore!" Rini called over her shoulder. She grinned again as she heard Serena protest before running after her. As least her cousin wasn’t so miserable looking now. They arrived at Lita’s breathless but happy.

"So, you two, I see you shrunk."

"Thanks Lita," Serena said sarcastically. "Is Amy here?"

"Yeah, what’s the rush?"

"We get scanned, and then we go get ice cream!"

"After we talk with Mina and Raye," Luna reminded her charge. Serena pouted but didn’t offer any further protest.

"Hey, two short-stuffs!" Mina declared with a grin, "What a surprise this is!" For some reason, Raye hadn’t seemed all that surprised.

"I gotta better surprise!" Rini piped up.

"What would that be, Pumpkin?"

"Don’t you dare," Serena hissed.

"I got my first period today!" Rini declared. Everyone, including Amy looked shocked.

"Interesting..." Amy murmured.

"Uh oh..." Lita said in a mock whisper, "You’re in for it now, Rini. Amy’s got that mad scientist look in her eye."

"Oh hush!" Amy retorted. She took both Serena and Rini by the hand and dragged them towards Lita’s bedroom.

Sometime later, Raye appeared angry while Mina appeared hurt. "If you can’t trust us, then maybe you shouldn’t be leader!" Raye snarled angrily. Folding her arms, she glared down at the nine year old looking Serena.

"This is why I didn’t tell you!" Serena whined, "You’re always so mean to me!"

"Meatball Head!"

"Flame Butt!"

Raye sprang forward from her position. She was starting to grab a hold of Serena when Mina intervened. "Raye, cool off girlfriend."

"Why should I?" Raye asked while glaring.

"She’s just a little kid," Mina explained.

"Am not!" Serena shouted.

"Sounds like it!" Raye retorted.

Before anyone could say anything else, Luna yelled for silence. "Now, Amy, have you had time to come up with anything?"

"It appears," Amy began, "That whatever Rubeus did is affecting them biologically... at least. My data indicates that Serena and Rini’s rate of change is decreasing."

"Huh?" the group questioned.

"Serena is nine, or almost nine by now. Rini is approximately twelve and half."

"Yeah, so?" Lita prompted

"So... I would have thought Serena would be much younger and Rini much older based on my observations yesterday."

"It’ll stop?" asked Serena hopefully.

"It appears so."

Amy seemed ready to launch into further explanation when Rini came into the room. She was naked from the waist up and holding a bra in her hands. "Somebody help me put this stupid thing on!" The others stared. Artemis was crushed as Mina rushed to cover his eyes. Luna sounded like a motorboat.

"Rini!" Serena said while blushing slightly, "Cover yourself up!"

"Why?" Rini asked while looking down at herself, "I just can’t get this thing on."

"Come here," Serena ordered. Rini obeyed and walked over to her cousin. Serena reached up and realized she was too short. "Get down here!" Giggling, Rini complied. "Why did you take it off in the first place?"

"It hurt... My training bra was too tight," Rini complained.

"But it’ll still be tight."

"Nuhuh! This is one of your old ones," Rini replied. The label said 30B so she was right. Serena laughed nervously for a moment and then helped Rini put the bra on.

"I think we need to talk about modesty," Luna said sternly.

"No way!" Serena cried, "Now we go out for ice cream."

"At least have Rini go put on a top."

"Come on, Rini," Lita said, "Go put something on before Luna has a heart attack."

Rini gulped the last of her ice cream down hungrily. Sitting back, she rubbed her stomach for a moment before belching. "Yummy!" She dug into her pocket but pouted, "Awww... nuts!"

"Whatsa matter?" Lita asked.

"Outta cash."

"You want more?" Raye asked in surprise.

"Her energy requirements seemed to have increased with her body mass," Amy said.

"Yeah whatever, Ames," Mina said.

"Hey Serena," Rini asked, "Can I have some more money?"

"Gwory," Serena mumbled through a mouthful of ice cream, "I’m busted too."

Rini sighed heavily; she was still hungry. Well, not really hungry, she just wanted something else. "I’m gonna go see Darien," Rini said while standing. Serena mumbled something around another tasty mouthful but didn’t look up.

"Come back to my place afterwards," Lita said, "And don’t be too long, or you’ll miss dinner."

"Like you would make her go without," Mina countered.

"I certainly would! If she doesn’t have the sense enough to come and eat my cooking, then she should go hungry." Rini giggled and left.

Darien was in a moment of self-indulgence when he heard a knock at the door. Sighing with some annoyance, he stood up from the bed, pulled on some clothing, and left the room. Unnoticed, he was still carrying the pornographic magazine he had been gazing at.

"Who is it?"

"RINI!" was the reply. It was followed shortly afterwards by a giggle.

It was Rini’s voice but different -- lower than normal. Opening the door, Darien’s mouth dropped open as he noticed how large Rini now was. "You like?"

"Uh... yeah, you look older." Rini smiled and walked into the apartment. He stared as Rini walked into the living room. She was taller than Serena had been and definitely more curvy. Rini blushed a little when she noticed Darien was gawking at her. "You got me in trouble with my super," he said, more to distract her than because he was angry.

"Oh yeah..." Her blush deepened.

That once well-spanked bottom had grown bigger but he bet it was still firm. Another part of him was growing bigger at the thought. Giving a small shake, he walked into the living room and carelessly tossed the magazine onto the coffee table.

"So this is what Rubeus did to you?"

"Yep!" Rini replied and hopped onto the couch. She pulled Darien to sit beside her and was happy to find he didn’t seem mad. "I’m sorry if I got you in trouble, Darien."

"Did you get Serena into trouble?" Maybe that was why he had only seen her the once since the attack. It was just as well though. He shot the occasional glances at Rini’s breasts which he couldn’t help but notice. They were as large as Serena’s, maybe even larger.

"No. Meatball Head and I get along okay now."

"I’m glad to hear that," Darien said and snaked an arm around Rini’s shoulder. She seemed pleased by this so she leaned against him.

"Are you Tuxedo Mask?" Darien didn’t respond, "Darien?"

"Hmmm..."

"Are you Tuxedo Mask?"

"Yes."

Rini shifted. She could feel the bra pressing into her sensitive flesh. "I know Serena’s Sailor Moon." She noticed one of his hands on her right breast. Smiling, she asked, "Darien, do you like my boobies?"

"What?!?" Darien asked. He jerked his hand away and looked ashamed.

"What’s the matter?"

"Um... nothing," Darien responded, "Uh, how about some food?"

"Sure!" Darien looked relieved and went into the kitchen.

The next few hours passed quickly. Rini ate some food and tried to watch television. She was aware of Darien watching her and she enjoyed that. It was annoying though because every time it seemed like Darien would be willing to do something, he would pull back.

Sometime later, Rini was, once again, feeling uncomfortable. Her clothes were getting very tight. She was also annoyed. Darien was obviously interested in her but he kept acting strange anytime she pointed out her new body.

"Don’t you like me anymore?"

"Of course."

"Then what’s wrong?"

"Well... I er... I mean you... I don’t know how to say this."

"You think I’m a little kid!" Rini huffed hotly as she stood up.

"No, it’s just that... well... How old did you say you were?"

"I bet I’m already thirteen." Stepping over the coffee table, Rini turned and shoved out her chest. "And I bet I’m even bigger than Serena!" Darien was at a loss for words. Rini could feel the strain of both her shirt and bra pressing against her.

"It isn’t that, Rini," Darien began.

"Then what?"

"Serena would be mad."

"But I’m a big girl now!"

Darien warred with his emotions while Rini glared at him. Something had to give, and it did. At first it was a soft sound and then, it grew louder. Darien watched in a mixture of horror and eager delight as Rini’s growth spurt caused her shirtfront to rip open, and then, ever so slowly, caused her strained bra to snap and slide downward.

"Look, now I really am bigger than Serena!" Rini’s voice was happy as she pulled away the loose shirtfront and looked down at her now exposed 34C breasts. Dropping both useless items to the floor, she turned to give Darien a better look.

"Let me close the blinds," Darien said and moved to do that. He wasn’t sure whether he wanted to thank Rubeus for doing this or kill him. "You are bigger than Serena." She even gave Raye some competition.

"I wonder if..." Rini began. Stopping, she discarded the rest of her clothing and smiled. "I even got a little hair." Darien thought he was going to explode seeing the pink hair between her legs.

Rini walked along the streets towards Lita’s. She had a smile on her face that stretched from ear to ear. She was wearing one of Darien’s sweatshirts and its course material rubbed pleasantly against her erect nipples as she walked. While she hadn’t been able to get him to play with her like he did with Serena, she had gotten a good look at him. It had been easy enough and now she knew his secret. Darien loved breasts. His magazine had been full of large breasted women.

She decided she would take a shower when she got to Lita’s apartment. Not only because she had never showered before, and was certainly big enough now, but she was sweaty. Despite not really doing anything at Darien’s, she was feeling a little hot but she attributed that to the summer heat. His sweatshirt was also making her sweaty.

When she arrived at Lita’s, Rini discovered that Serena was not in the best of moods. And that mood grew even worse when Serena noticed Rini wearing one of Darien’s sweatshirts. Raye took off soon after Rini arrived, claiming she had some "errands" to run.

"Was Raye picking on you?"

"Yes," Serena snapped, "I’m glad you didn’t let Darien see you change." Rini was relieved it wasn’t a question. She sighed. "I hope Darien isn’t too mad at you. I tried to talk to him before."

"No," Rini said reassuringly. "He did ask ’bout you though." That seemed to cheer Serena up. She turned to Lita. "When’s dinner?"

"It’s almost ready. Why?"

"I was gonna try your shower... I mean if you wouldn’t mind."

Lita chuckled. "Knock yourself out, kiddo, but Serena should show you how it works. I don’t think you’ve ever taken a shower before."

Rini had when she was smaller but her mother had held her then so she didn’t really count that. "Nope."

"Maybe Serena can have one too and give us some peace and quiet," Luna suggested.

"Hey... What’s that supposed to mean?"

"It means if you and Raye go at it again anytime soon, I’m going to hurt someone!"

Rini gave
