The girls had secretly congregated in the treehouse resting atop Mighty Pete. It had been ages since any of them had set foot in the little wooden structure; nowadays its usual tenants were the current string of fourth-graders throughout the city, and most of the original users had outgrown playing in treehouses some time around the fifth grade.

Helga, Phoebe, and Rhonda sat cross-legged in the middle of the treehouse, the grey cat sitting in the middle. Patty stood by the open window, looking out over the city.

"So...do you like, know Luna or something?" asked Helga.

"Yes! Luna is my mother! My name is Diana - I'm so glad to have finally found you girls!" exclaimed Diana in her cheerful demeanor.

"No offense, but the feeling's not exactly mutual," quipped Helga.

"Yeah," added Rhonda. "I thought we were done with this whole sailor business."

"We sent your mother back home nearly two years ago," explained Phoebe, adjusting her glasses. "She was convinced we had eradicated the source of the negative energy. So why are you here?"

Diana blinked. "Two years? Has really been that long?" She shook her head forlornly. "Then we have already wasted too much time..."

"What are you talking about?" asked Rhonda.

"My mother and I are from the future, yes, but for some reason we were not sent to this time period at the same time. There was a terrible catastrophe that had sent us here, but my travel must have been delayed."

"What kind of catastrophe?" inquired Phoebe.

"All I know for certain is that a horrible struggle had broken out in my time period. My master, the princess of Neo-Tokyo, mysteriously vanished, and the Crystal was lost."

"Luna never mentioned that," commented Rhonda.

"Yeah..." mused Helga. "She didn't mention a lot of things. She couldn't even remember why she was here."

"That is unfortunate," sighed Diana. "I am convinced that if we were returned to this point in time, then the crystal must be hidden somewhere within this city."

"Diana, what is 'the crystal'?" asked Phoebe.

"Ginzuishou: the Imperium Silver Crystal. It is a very powerful relic from the Moon Kingdom. For it to be lost is a very serious matter. With no crystal present in the 30th century, there is a good chance of no Neo-Tokyo, no home at all to which my mother may return."

"Then...where is Luna?" asked Helga, a little concerned. "Did we send her into that?"

"That is a possibility...but it is an unlikely one. Sailor Pluto would have intercepted her travel. "

"Sailor what-now?"

"Sailor Pluto – she is the guardian of time and space. Everything involving time-travel would have to pass through her. She is the one who advised me to awaken a team of interim senshi in order to retrieve the crystal. I can already see that mother has awakened the three of you, so I only had to concern myself with seeking out Miss Patty."

"What do you mean 'awakened'?" pressed Rhonda.

Once again, Diana sighed. "Oh dear...so Mother didn't realize that either..."
