In the biggest and finest bar of the neighborhood, the owner lazily cleaned his counter with a rag, whistling a tune. It was still pretty early, so he didn't expect any customers.
That's when he heard the door to his establishment opening.
'A customer?' his slow brain wondered. 'That early? Ah, I know who that is...'
And without looking up from his work, he asked in his grumpy voice: "What can I do for you, Miss Mishima?"
When he didn't get an answer, he looked up... and right into the face of a furred being with pointy fangs, big ears and an enormous wingspan.
"Hey there!" Nabiki grinned. "Can a girl get something to drink here?"
"WHAAAAAAAH!" the bartender yelled, ran out from behind his counter and out of his bar.
The bat-girl looked after him. "Geez, he's acting like he never saw a human-sized bat before..." She shrugged. "Oh well..."
Her gaze then fell onto the BIIIIIG amount of alcoholic beverages standing inside the shelves behind the counter.
"Well, helloooooo there," she grinned.
----
Usagi, Chibiusa and Mamoru were just walking past the bar, when the owner came running out of it, shouting: "Help me! Save me! A VAMPIRE!"
Usagi and Mamoru looked at each other. "A vampire in a bar?" Usagi wondered.
Mamoru sighed. "Has to be our little Miss 'Swig-a-lot'..."
They headed inside... and were staring at an absurd scene.
Numerous bottles of all kinds of booze were littered all over the counter and floor, and behind the counter, the antropomorphic bat was guzzling one bottle of booze after another.
"Wheeeee..." Nabiki chanted. "Now thish ish life... (hic) Heeeyyyoouuu... wanna have shome ash well? (hic)"
"I've never seen a boozy daimon before..." Usagi muttered. "How many do you think she had?"
"I'm sorry," Chibiusa replied. "But I'm a child and not allowed to drink."
"Nooo?" Nabiki wondered. "Now that'sh a shame... Oh well... (hic) I guessh I'll be off, then... (hic)"
She climbed onto the counter and prepared for takeoff.
"We have to stop her," Mamoru shouted. "When she flies away, we'll have a hard time catching her."
"I've got her!" Usagi shouted and lunged for the bat.
"No, I've got her!" Chibiusa yelled and dove for the bat as well.
CLONG!
At the last minute, Nabiki had managed to jump over the two odango'ed girl's heads and soared towards the exit. As a result, Chibiusa's and Usagi's heads had collided with each other.
BONK! Nabiki collided with the door frame, but kept on flying.
"Owch..." she muttered. "Gotta be careful... shomehow, my balanshe ish totally off... (hic) Perhapsh I need shome shtronger shtuff..."
"Hey, come back here!" Mamoru shouted and ran after her.
Outside, he realized that she was too far away from the ground that he might have a chance of catching her. And he could not transform into Tuxedo Kamen right here in the middle of the street... It would've been to late, anyway.
So he did the next logical thing: He picked up a stone that was lying on the pavement and threw it after the flying bat (whose flight path was slightly... wobbly).
His aim was perfect, his immediate reaction admirable... but he could not predict the slight 'staggering' in Nabiki's flight path, so that the stone missed the bat when she slightly tilted to the right... and the thrown object crashed right into the window of a jewelry shop.
Mamoru winced when immediately, the alarm of the shop went off.
The shop's owner ran out on the street and gasped as he saw what happened to his window. "HELP! POLICE! I'M BEING ROBBED!"
Mamoru hastily shook his head. "Nonono... it was the bat!"
----
Police officer Leon McNichol was just on patrol, when he heard the alarm and the cries of the shop owner.
He turned around the corner, saw the dark-haired man who had obviously thrown a stone into the broken window, and raised his gun. "Okay, pal," he shouted. "Hands up into the air!"
The young man in front of him stuttered: "B-but you don't understand... It was because of that bat-girl..."
"Yeah, right..." Leon grumbled. "I said hands up, so up with 'em!"
The young man sighed. "Right away, officer..."
Leon approached him carefully and put him into handcuffs. "And no games, got it?"
----
Usagi and Chibiusa just recovered from the 'blow' they had given each others heads.
"Ow..." Usagi whined. "That hurt..." Then she got angry. "CHIBIUSA! You little spore! Can't you look where you're going?"
"Excuse me?" the pink-haired girl yelled back. "If it wasn't for your clumsiness, we would have captured the daimon already, you meatball-head!"
Then they looked around. "Say, where's Mamoru?"
They went out of the bar... and gasped as they saw how the police officer lead the handcuffed Mamoru away.
"Ooooh, they arrested my Mamo-chan? Why? Whatever did he do?"
Chibiusa sighed. "I guess everyone has his dark little secret..."
Usagi looked like she was ready to cry. "No! Not my Mamo-chan! Chibiusa! We have to do something!"
Chibiusa sighed. "All right, all right... but I only do this because of Mamoru!"
----
"Chief!" Leon shouted as he entered the office of his chief officer Todo. "I caught a man who wanted to break into Mr. Ishida's jewelry shop."
Chief Todo looked up from his work... and grimaced as he saw just WHAT Leon had brought into his office.
"Care to explain, officer?" he grumbled in a dangerous voice.
"What do you mean...?" Leon asked before turning around to face his 'prisoner'...
It was a human-sized blow-up doll, handcuffed just like the black-haired man had been.
Leon's jaw looked like it was ready to fell down to the floor. "W-what?" he muttered. "H-how could this be? I could've sworn..."
"I know only one thing," Todo yelled. "If you want to play your kinky games, play them at home or wherever... BUT NOT AT WORK!! GOT IT??"
Leon gulped. "Y-yes, sir..."
----
Shortly after, the blow-up doll came flying into the big trash can in front of the police department. The confused officer shook his head and went back inside.
A little, pink-haired girl looked around the corner, giggled and made a motion with her hands. In a puff of smoke, the blow-up doll turned into a floating black ball, looking like a cat's head.
"Good job, Luna-P," Chibiusa grinned as her floating toy/tool returned to her.
----
"I'm still saying I should go back and speak to the police," Mamoru muttered. "Now they believe I'm a burglar and most likely are searching for me..."
"And what exactly do you want to tell them?" Chibiusa asked. "That a human-sized bat made you throw the rock, but you couldn't hit it because it was drunk?"
"Don't worry," Usagi giggled. "I believe no one will take that officer seriously again for a while..." She sighed. "Although I kinda feel sorry for him... He was cute..."
Mamoru sweat-dropped. "Usagi... I'm standing right here, you know?"
"Oops!" She giggled. "Sorry about that, Mamo-chan..."
"HEY!" Chibiusa suddenly shouted. "Look, up there!" And she gestured towards the window of a tall apartment building on the other side of the street.
High up there, a humanoid bat was staggering around, clutching a sake bottle within her hand.
"Wheeeeh..." Nabiki yelled. "Yoohoo, down there... you look like antsh to me, sho shmall..."
"We have to be quick, or she flies away again," Mamoru said. "Perhaps we should transform first..."
Usagi nodded. "Yeah, good idea!"
----
House wife Naoko Mayumi was sitting in the living room of her apartment, knitting on a sweater for her grandchild... when suddenly, her gaze fell to her window.
"YIKES!" she yelled. "ROSHI! ROSHI! A VAMPIRE!"
----
While Mrs. Mayumi was yelling for her husband, Sailor Moon prepared to give her beloved Tuxedo Kamen a little lift.
"Be careful," she said as his right foot stepped into her ouststretched hands.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine," the tuxedo-clad defender of justice assured her. "Now, throw me up!"
"Okay! Here you... GO!!"
Mamoru flew up into the air and tried grabbing the drunk bat-daimon.
Nabiki looked down into her bottle. "Huh... Ish it empty again? Sho shad... (hic) Aw, have to go find another, then..." And she took off right when Tuxedo Kamen came flying up to her.
She flew away... and Mamoru's hands just grabbed empty air. He just had enough time to think 'Dang'... and then his head slammed right into the frame of the window.
"Owwww..." he groaned and held his head.
----
Meanwhile, Mrs. Mayumi had been able to find her husband, who followed her into their living room, carrying an impressive shotgun.
"Whaaaah!" the old woman yelled when instead of the bat-creature, she saw the figure of a man wearing a black cape. "It turned into DRACULA! ROSHI, DO SOMETHING!"
And her husband angrily raised his shotgun... and fired! "TAKE THIS, BLOODSUCKER!"
BLAM!
When the elderly couple looked at the window again, the intruder was gone.
Roshi grinned. "That showed him!"
"I better call the police, Roshi..." his wife said in fright.
----
Sailor Moon and Chibimoon looked down at the charred, twitching form of Tuxedo Kamen, who was lying flat on the pavement.
"Ouch..." Chibimoon winced. "That HAD to hurt..."
----
Back at the police station, officer Leon slammed down his phone. "Chief," he shouted. "Someone just tried to break into an apartment building... and it was a young, black-haired man! Perhaps it's just the guy that also broke into the jewelry shop."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Todo growled. "Go out there and GET HIM!"
"R-right away, sir!"
