(OOC: I request only magical girls or girls who THINK they are magical girls *cough*Midori*cough* join.)
Sailor Chibi Moon had run out of the mall. She wasn't physically tired, but the worry and fear had emotionally drained her. She was now sitting on a bench in a large plaza area across the street from the mall. It was still considered part of the mall, but wasn't inside of it.
She ran her hands through her bangs, shocked when she felt wetness on her cheeks. She looked at the tears on her fingertips, the way the light reflected off them. She needed allies, but who? She didn't want to put anyone in unnecessary danger...
"Helios-kun, if only you were here... I wonder, can you hear me?" She held her hands to her chest and closed her eyes. After a flash of pink light she drew her hands back. Resting there was a beautiful crystal bell, "Helios-kun... Can I even take it if you don't answer?"

Even after a good night's sleep, Midori still felt emotionally drained. And why not? It had been a rough night after all. And even now, she didn't feel comfortable talking to K1.
That morning, there had been an awkward silence between the two. Before, he would at least listen to her blabbering about anime and tokusatsu, but this morning, he just asked her a couple of questions and ran off with Yuugi.
It was probably for the best. After last night, it would be just awkward for the two of them to talk.
Still, she still had some money on her. And since she had nothing better to do, Midori decided to go to the mall. Maybe they had a video store there.
------------------
Nearby, Nanoha Takamachi was wandering around the mall. Every now and again, she'd come across something, and say to herself, "Vivio would like this", or "Aww, it's so cute". This mall seemed to have everything. It was too bad Nanoha had no idea what the name meant, otherwise she'd know why it had everything. The place was huge.

Chibi Moon looked around. No one seemed nearby. She nodded to herself before standing up. She worried about the result, but if there was any chance to contact Helios, she couldn't let it go.
She held out her hands and the bell floated between them. She closed her eyes and let out a shout, "TWINKLE YELL!"
The bell shook, creating a beautiful crystalline sound as pink sparkles flowed from the bottom of it and around her. Five seconds later, the ball vanished in a flurry of sparkles. It took the other sparkles with her. Nothing had happened.
She collapsed into a sitting position again and buried her head in her hands, sobbing. The dimension was too far for even her Twinkle Yell to reach... The tears were quickly dampening the white of her gloves.
(OOC: Twinkle Yell, the sparkly extended edition! XD Since its not an attack, I got more detailed. It can also be passed of as not being under threat and her putting more effort into it. XD)

At the sound of someone crying, Midori jumped into full alert, and ran towards the sound of the sobbing, only to come face to face with someone she'd only seen in anime. At first, Midori thought it was another cosplayer like her, but she'd already seen Yuugi. It wasn't out of reason for Sailor Chibi Moon to be here too.
"Hey. Are you alright?" Midori asked as she walked up to Chibi Moon.
------------
After a while, Nanoha realized she needed to save her money for more important things, like figuring out how to get back to Mid-Childa, and decided to leave the mall. It was too bad. They had the same kind of bunny dolls Vivio liked.

The pink haired girl twitched in a muted act of surprise. She nodded quickly and used her gloved lower arms to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"A-allergies..." she sniffled and looked up, a little baffled at the girl's outfit, "Oh... is there a convention in town?"
She didn't recognize the outfit, but she'd seen people dress up as original characters before. Her eyes were a little red and puffy as she sniffed to try and avoid getting dripped on by a runny nose.

Midori sighed. "I wish. If there was one, I'd be at it right now. I'm just kinda stuck in my cosplay for now though."
She looked at Chibi Moon. Okay, it was just a cosplayer cosplaying her, then, if she was talking about conventions.
"I gotta like your Sailor Chibi Moon cosplay, by the way! It's a lot better than mine, even if it's got a lot of extra stuff I don't remember from the show. It almost looks like the real thing!" Midori said. It was a shame though, Midori thought she'd met the real thing for a second.
------------
After leaving the mall, Nanoha had taken a seat on the other side of the small plaza area, watching the two girls with strange clothes on sitting on the other side of the plaza.
"Cosplayers?" Nanoha asked. "Is there a convention in town?"

Chibi Moon opened her mouth, and then closed it. Cosplayer? Sure, Sailor Soldier cosplayers existed, but the girl had mentioned something about a show?
"Um... what?"
Oh yeah, that was smart. But it was all she could get out. If she had just mistaken her for a cosplayer she would have managed. But she had never been in an anime. Sailor Venus had been the main character of a manga during her Sailor V days, but no anime had been made. And while talk had occured of a Sailor Moon manga, that hadn't occured either. So Chibi Moon's brain faceplanted.

Midori raised an eyebrow. A cosplayer who didn't know who she was cosplaying?
"Yeah, it looks pretty different. Though, I never read the manga, and I did hear that they were pretty different... Are you cosplaying the manga version of Sailor Chibi Moon?" Midori asked. At the same time, the concept of the Chibi Moon before her being the real thing sounded more and more correct as the seconds passed.

Well... um... I do know I'm in a different world. I suppose it's possible other worlds have Sailor Senshi manga...
Chibi Moon shook her head, "I'm not sure how to say this, but I am Sailor Chibi Moon..."
To those who had seen the anime, the girl would seem off. For one, she looked older. She looked older than in the manga even, although she didn't appear much older than she was at the end of the Stars arc. But the biggest thing was the total difference in personality. The closest comparison in the anime would be Queen Serenity from Usagi's past life. Certainly not the often spazzed Chibi Moon from the anime.

"Oh, okay. Cool." Midori said.
Three seconds.
Two seconds.
One second.
"OMG CAN I HAVE YOU AUTOGRAPH THIS IS SO COOL I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M MEETING THE REAL SAILOR CHIBI MOON OMG!" Midori pulled a paper and pencil out of the same pocket she kept her COMP in. "PLEASE SIGN OMG I HAVE TO SHOW THIS TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS-- oh... right."

Chibi Moon simply stared as the girl had the biggest geek out she had likely ever seen. She'd seen female otaku geek out less over bishounen. She blinked a few times and looked at the paper.
"Uh.... sure..."
She took the pencil and pad and quickly signed ƒZ[ƒ‰[‚¿‚у€[ƒ“ onto it, which would be read as Seeraa Chibi Muun. The writing was beautiful, much like the signature on some historical document would have been. It was almost as if the girl had studied years of calligraphy. However, there were no fancy marks such as hearts or sparkles, something a fan of the franchise might have expected.
Hey, it wasn't like she was Venus.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Midori took the paper back and danced around a little bit, holding the paper up in the air. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"
After having her little happy dance, Midori took a look at the paper. "Wow, your handwriting's actually really nice! Especially considering how bad your mom's is..."
She sat down on the bench. "This. Is. So. Cool. I haven't experienced anything this awesome since I met Zero-sama!"

Chibi Moon sweatdropped as Midori quite literally danced around. She might not have fit the otaku stereotype, but she was also female. She was acting like some fangirl...
"Bad handwriting? Where did you get that idea? Mother has beautiful hand writing!" She had taken a rather offensed looking pose with her hands on her hips.
Hey, from Chibi Moon's standpoint, it was true. If she saw anime Neo Queen Serenity she'd likely implode. She was too busy being miffed to notice the comment about "Zero-sama".

Midori looked at Chibi Moon and raised an eyebrow.
"No she doesn't! Not from what I've seen. She must have taken lessons after becoming queen or something then," Midori said as she pocketed the paper. "So, what have you been doing since you came to the island? Fighting crime? Looking for true love?"

"She's had good handwriting my entire life," frowned Chibi Moon. Apparently the anime in Midori's world wasn't very accurate, "And she had good handwriting in her second year of High School, too. Not as good, but quite legible."
Chibi Moon quickly looked away when Midori said "true love". She squeezed her eyes to ward off the tears. Midori had to mention that. Her mind flooded back to her white haired knight in shining armor, "I-I..."
No words would form for the poor girl.
(OOC: ZOMG, I just realized both Helios and Zero have white hair. XDD)
