Neo Outsiders Holiday Special 3: Kaguya Arc
Part 1: A New Friend?
At a theater, in Tokyo, some of the gang came out of the theater.
Yin: So, what you think of Wall-E, Yang?
Yang: It's all right, just not as exciting as Kung Fu Panda.
Master Yo: (uneasy) Yeah.
Amy Rose: Master Yo, something wrong?
Master Yo: What? No! Nothing's wrong.
Lita: I'll just be glad when you guys see your families again once we take you guys back to your homes.
Only Courage and Shirly looked uneasy as the teen said that.
Courage: Uh, Lita...about that...
Shirly: There is something you should know about the families memories of Serena, Raye, Mina, and Amy.
Riku: (notices) Guys, look!
The group watched as Serena, Momoko and Rini (the present one) watched while eating. On the screen was the space shuttle, then a picture of a group of people with a black haired woman taking notes.
News Reporter: From the International Space Agency today, the most recent woman to be selected as a member of the next space flight crew is Himeko Nayotake of Japan. She’s been chosen to be part of a select team of scientists. They’ve been working on the new Lunar Frontier Project and are making final preparations for their flight to the moon, which is approaching quickly.
Serena took a bite out of her hot ball with chocolate as the others smiled.
Momoko: Too bad Future Rini's not with us, she would have loved to see this.
Rini: (grins) Way cool! That spaceship’s going to the moon!
Serena began daydreaming as the blond girl with odangos had hearts in her eyes.
Serena: Oh...I wish I could fly to the Moon with Darien on a spaceship.
Luna: You don’t even have to fly to the Moon, Serena. You’re spacey enough.
Serena looked at Luna, who looked a bit pale.
Luna: Our peaceful time is soon coming to an end, and you have to start thinking about destroying those fiends when they get here.
Serena: (annoyed) Blah, blah! Who are you supposed to be? My conscience fairy? Maybe if you knew something about love, you wouldn't be such a stick-in-the-mud.
Cherry, who was looking a bit sick, nodded while Serena continued eating.
Cherry: Ya know she's got a point.
Luna: What’s to know? (sneezes) Ah-choo. I’m a cat. Cats don’t fall in love.
Cherry: What 'bout Maximus an' Nemesis? (sneezes) Ah-choo! They's fell in love an' they is cats.
Luna: They and the other humanoid cats are different.
Then, Rini and Amy noticed something wrong with the two.
Rini: Oh Luna, are you sick?
Luna: I caught a cold yesterday.
Cherry: (sniffs) Guess we got it fro' 'dat there Himilayas we pass-ed by. I knew we should have dressed warmer.
Cherry picked up Luna as Snake and Artemis noticed.
Luna: Ah-choo! See you later, Serena. I’m going to go home.
Serena: Okay, Luna.
Cherry: We'll be seein' ya back at 'de base.
Snake: I’ll walk you home if you like.
Cherry: (smiles slightly) No thank you.
Artemis: But...
Luna: You and Snake worry too much, Artemis. We’re just going home. I’ll be all right.
Cherry: Don't panic, okay?
The two, however, looked a bit worried as both Cherry and Luna walked through the crowd while Marie (the present one) looked confused.
Marie: Uh, isn't the way back home the other direction?
With Cherry, she with Luna sighed as they continued walking on the sidewalk.
Cherry: I can’t wait to get home.
Luna: I feel so weak, and a nice, hot bowl of soup would be nice, too.
They stopped at the stop light, waiting for it to change.
Cherry: Oh, hurry and change, light.
The light changed to green. The two kept walking as Cherry looked exhausted.
Cherry: Oh, I’m so dizzy.
She stopped in the middle of the road, collapsing to the ground. Luna, groaning, noticed while the girl tried getting up just as the light changed to red. When she kneeled, the two gasped as they saw a ferari about to run them over.
Both: AAAH!
All of a sudden, they were grabbed.
Man: Gotcha.
The same man from the previous night tumbled after grabbing the two, with the cat and girl tumbling with him. The driver, Di Lung, stopped as he shook his fist.
Di Lung: Watch where you're going, ya fool!
He drove off in a hurry. The two exhausted ones panted as they looked at their rescuer before blacking out. That evening, at a familiar observatory, in the bedroom department, the same man noticed Luna and Cherry awakening.
Man: So you’re awake, kitty.
Cherry: Uh-huh...
The two started to try moving a bit, though the man stopped them.
Man: You shouldn’t move. You two have a fever. You stay here for the night and rest.
He pet Luna before she lied back down. Then, they were covered up by the blankets. Cherry noticed the man getting wash cloths from an icy bowl of water. He drenched the water, then used one of the cloths on Luna, who meowed before going to sleep. Cherry smiled a bit as the other cloth was placed on her head. She sighed as she went to sleep. The next morning, Cherry and Luna, all better, awoke due to the sunlight. They yawned before looking at the sleeping man, looking surprised.
Luna: I can’t believe it!
Cherry: He sat up all night long just fo' us?
The image of the man risking his life for them replayed as Luna looked surprised with tears forming in their eyes.
Luna: He even risked his life for the two of us!
The man continued to sleep before Cherry looked at a discarded name tag, looking at it.
