"Thanks for coming with me."

"Like I was going to let you walk alone to their apartment."

"I'm not a little kid!"

"Just messing with you."

Usagi pouts holding Natsumi homework. Her and Lita heading over to drop her work off. Molly wasn't able to as she had to drop Melvin homework off. Ami in cram class at this time.

Natsumi didn't come to school today. Neither did her brother. A lot of students didn't come after that Cardian attack from that weird Sailor Moon Live Action show yesterday.

Luna had to hold back Usagi to attack anyone. At least the one who dare made the costumes. Sure, the big chibi head was one thing. They don't wear those short skirts!

But wasn't able to destroy that three face Cardian in time.

So, they were all on a bit on edge and keeping a close eye out for any attack today. So, far none.

"How was Natsumi when you talked to her?"

"Besides the other day just totally exhausted and weak."

"Maybe her brother should bring her to the Doctors eventually."

"Hopefully.

"So, are things fix up with her attitude?"

"Kind of. At least it something than nothing. Oh! Get this! I found out from her. That her brother actually does crush on me? Like I thought I was just seeing things at first and wave it off like with the whole music- Lita put the trashcan down."

"It's a gift."

Back with our alien residents.

"Are you still jealous?"

"What if I am?"

Natsumi rolled her eyes at her brother.

The pair right now in the room with the tree. The pair called in sick today. Plus, with yesterday attack at that audience it wasn't such a huge problem. Besides, they have important matters to attend to at the moment.

The Tree was dying.

It wouldn't respond to the energy they gathered for it at all! It was scaring them a bit. The pair been thinking and trying to figure out what they possible are doing wrong. It's not like they can asked the tree itself.

Tree can't talk.

Now here they are bantering like siblings from what happen two days ago.

"You know what Ail go ahead and try to ask her out. In front of her Mada!"

"I want to live thank you very much!"

"Not if we die from lack of energy!"

Doorbell ring.

The pair look at each other in confusion.

Who even here?

They got their answers when they see Usagi and Lita.

"Hey guys! Natsumi you looking less tired."

"Usagi? What you doing here?"

"Dropping your homework off and checking on you. Did you get your brother sick yet?"

"Ready to break his arm."

"Isn't my little sister so sweet?" Ail twitch and smile at them. "Would you all like to come in? We made some coffee and sweet pork buns."

"I don't-"

"Yes!"

"Usagi!"

"What they offered?"

Natsumi twitch as she glared at her brother in the kitchen. Usagi was looking at the paintings. While Lita looks ready to murder her brother. Which she wouldn't mind if she doesn't first! They don't need company over right there! Slightly annoyed they didn't called or give them a head up. Even if dropping of school work a valid excuse. Maybe if it was just Usagi.

"Hey does this room lead to the bathro-"

"No, don't go in there!"

The automatic door open.

Suddenly a bright light.

Usagi quickly cover her face from the brightness. What the heck they using this room for?

Then something grab her.

"LET GO!"

"Usagi!"

Seijuro rush over quickly to press the button. He watches as the tree vines force to let go of Usagi. "Usagi are you alright?"

"What the heck was that?" Lita demanded pushing him away and held Usagi protectively. It was so bright when she turns her head. She couldn't even see what happen. Only to hear Usagi yell let go.

"It's nothing terrible I swear. I'm just conducting experiment." Seijuro quickly explain.

"I told him to keep that room tidier when he does it." Natsumi sent him a look. She look back at Usagi who look a bit winded out. She really hope she didn't see too much. The both of them.

"What kind of experiment?" Usagi asked and shaking her head.

"Astro-botany."

"Oh um interesting. Lita like plants."

Lita glared at him and look at Usagi. "Were leaving."

"But-"

"Look it was accident. I should have said something beforehand." Seijuro tried to explain. He glances at his sister and see she was not helping out. Just clearly annoyed as it seems.

"Then don't have an automatic door for experiments. Come on Usagi."

"Oh um bye and sorry for walking in there."

"It's no, problem."

"Just next time asked before walking. "

"See you at school."

"Maybe."

Ail and Ann watch the pair at the balcony leave the apartment complex.

"You should not have let them in." Ann glared at him.

"I just wanted to be nice. They came to check on you." Ail look back at them and wave at Usagi when she look over. Till Lita made her keep moving.

"It doesn't matter! You're lucky they believe your excuse. Why are you even being nice anyone?"

"Just felt right okay. Why are you complaining anyway? One, minute you are fine with Usagi. Next, thing I see you ignoring and snappy at her with classmates. Fine, the other day with her. Now annoyed. Will you make up your mind?"

"I'm going to tree."

"Sure! Why don't you just talk to it while you're at it!"

"Better than you're mopping!"

"Look who talking!" Natsumi snarled and back inside the room. Look at the tree and freeze. "Brother come in here."

"What is it?"

"Look!"

He look over and eyes widen at what he saw on the tree.

A green sapling that started to bloom.

Back at home."

"What?" Error eyes narrowed at the pair. They finished explaining to him and Luna what happen at the apartment.

"It was just so weird." Lita explained and still slightly annoyed.

"Are you both fine now?" He looks them both over.

"Didn't touch me."

"I'm fine just was spook is all."

"But something grabs you. That just seems off and worrying. He even admits doing an experiment in that room." Luna pointed out.

"We um didn't think too much at that moment but get away."

"You mean you wanted to get us away."

"I could have beat his ass instead."

Error was silent watching the pair bicker. He was deep in thought and tap the table. Something just felt off.

Usagi right bun moves slightly.

The former destroyed by Usagi side as his string grabs what on the back of her bun.

"Mada! What you-What is that?"

"It's moving!"

Few minutes later the moving vine like branch was in the glass jar. Error, Luna, Usagi, and Lita stared at it.

"So, what is it?"

"It's dangerous that what it is."

Error does a CHECK on the branch and eyes narrowed a bit. "Does the Makai or Life tree ring a bell Luna?"

"It's a mysterious, energy-sucking tree from outer space. That's all that we really know."

"..."

"Mada."

"Seijuro and Natsumi are Ali and Ann."

"What?!"

"Okay look even I may not care for them much. But isn't that pushing it."

"You got this from leaving their apartment. He even said he was doing reports on astro-botany. Either they are those alien siblings. Or experimenting with a planet that they shouldn't." He look at them. Sees Usagi crestfallen face, along with Lita. Let out a sigh. "Look I don't want to believe it but the proof is there. Can at least make sure to stop them since they apparently feeding this tree wrong."

"What you mean?"

"They hate energy that taken by force. Practically killing them. Which now explain those Cardians stealing and taking energy. Just want to be care or nurture."

"Wait the tree living being. So, could it have talk to them?"

"Possible. But either wasn't able to at the time."

"Or?"

"Or trying to pull some life lesson crap that could have handle differently. But who to say."

"Alright were going to call the others scouts and plan-Wait? Where you going?"

"To go have a chat."

"I'm coming!"

"Usagi!"

"Same!"

"Lita! What about the others?"

"Will communicate with them. They can start heading over there."

"This is a terrible plan."

"I'm a not so happy Mada since my kids almost became plant food!"

Whelp let's see how this will all turn out.

Will Ail and Ann change their ways and listen. Or fight? We shall see!

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
