[Episode 26587] [Episode 26587]Sailor Moon trips, or gets tripped, taking Sakura down with her. Her hair hits the bubble, and both vanish. The bubble immedietely stabilizes, before anyone can react.
Everyone stared. At least, everyone cognizent did. But they didn't stare at either the now-stabilized bubble or at the spot the two girls had vanished from.
They stared at Sailor Pluto, who was just now pulling back her staff and straightening up.
"What did you do that for?" screamed Mars.
"I thought you said that this was a threat to the future," noted Jupiter.
"Not quite," Mercury calmly replied. "She said that it was a threat to Crystal Tokyo, not to the future. Numerous events in the past have proven that Crystal Tokyo is actually an alternative timeline which diverged when the Black Moon Family diverted us from dealing with the Death Busters a year earlier."
Mercury blinked, "I thought that was obvious. She certainly suspected that the future wasn't guaranteed."
"She does have more reason to worry," noted Venus.
"As interesting as all that might be," interrupted Ukyö. "Why the hell did the bubble suddenly stop sparking?"
"Obviously," noted Cologne dryly, "there is now more than one male within."
"That pervert!" grumbled Akane. "He's just a kid."
"Who you call pervert, pervert-girl," sniped Shampoo. "Girl is girl."
"Got that right, sugar," noted Ukyö. "I'm more concerned about the fact that she is just a kid."
"You mean, she was just a kid," replied Cologne. "She is certainly old enough by now, otherwise she would never have been brought inside."
"So why did it suddenly stabilize?" asked Neptune.
"Hmm," interjected Mercury. "Oh, that's easy." She promptly concentrated and retroformed. However, while the clothes were definitely female, and ill-fitting to suit, the form was definitely male, and something of a hunk.
"The Starlights' trick?" stammered Uranus. "But I thought that they could only pull that off because they weren't actually from Earth."
"Hardly," replied Mars, "as Senshi, we can consciously select the gender of our masked state. However, our Senshi form is always female. I thought you already knew all that."
Dual incomprehending stares indicated otherwise.
"She used the trick a few times back before we found out that she was actually the Moon Princess," explained Mercury. "As I recall, she managed to get enough practice to be reasonably comfortable with it."
"Okay, fine," sighed Ukyö, "There are now four people within. Two are full-time female, one is actually a male who turns into a female when splashed with cold water, and the last can pick and choose her current gender. So how long until they all get out."
"There is no way to tell for certain," explained Cologne. "At my best estimation, it will likely take long enough for everyone of the females to be fully impregnated. Of course, we already know for certain who the fathers' of the children that son-in-law and Sailor Moon will bear are going to be, and there's a better than average chance that Nabiki will be bearing son-in-law's child that Sakura will be bearing Sailor Moon's."
"Hold on there," interjected Ukyö. "If Ranma turns male, won't any kid just be aborted then and there?"
"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem," replied Kasumi. "Ranma's period certainly only progresses while he's female."
"Quite right," noted Cologne. "Whenever son-in-law changes, his form proceeds from more-or-less the same state it was in when he was last in it. At least so far as those characteristics which are unique to one or the other."
Now she cackled, "Of course, that would tend to make dealing with his periods all the more frustrating. He probably tries to keep a log book to keep track of it."
A slender hand effortlessly helped Sakura to her feet. "Are you alright, Sakura-chan? I'm sorry about tripping you like that."
"I'm alright, Moon-san," replied Sakura, as she swept the dust off of herself. "My fuku is ruined, however."
Indeed, her sudden growth spurt from elementary student to high school student had definitely overstressed the uniform. The sudden expansion of her bustline had polished it off, giving her a wide cleavage down to her belly button.
Sakura sighed, and divested herself of the constricting remnants. "So, shall we join the fun? They certainly are playing my song."
Moon grinned back at her widely, "Three girls and one guy, who happens to turn into a girl? I think that I can improve on that. Oh, and call me Usagi, Usagi Tsukino."
With that, she retroformed, assuming a definitively male and hunky form.
Sakura grinned back, and the two were soon performing their own melody.
