Chapter 12: Taiki Falls Sick!  A Picture from the Music!
	No sound but the scream of a doctor was heard in the night, as Lead Crow
 extracted his Star Seed.  "A blank!  This failure will infect my record with Galaxia.
  Go out, infect the young children with your disease, Sailor Doctor!" commanded the
 red-haired villainess.

	Usagi and Chibi-Usa watched the news the next night.  "A strange disease has 
spread throughout Tokyo.  It seems to only affect children, the oldest affected are 
those who are about 13 years old in age," said the announcer.  "A bunch of kids went 
home sick today at school," said Chibi-Usa.  "I hope none of us Sailor Senshi get it.
  I wonder if Taiki-chan will get it.  She IS only 11," mused Usagi.  "Taiki-chan?  
I called the Lights this afternoon.  I wanted to show her the drawing I made.  Whenever
 I hear their song, I can picture this lady in my head, and I finally drew her.  But 
when I called, Seiya-san said I couldn't come over because she didn't want me to get 
sick.  She said Taiki-chan fainted during a recording session and started throwing up,"
 said Chibi-Usa.  "I wonder if she just was stressed from being an idol.  I remember 
watching that one time with Minako-chan.  She'll probably be fine tomorrow, and I'll bet
 she'll even come to school," said Usagi.

	As Usagi had predicted, Taiki DID come to school the next day, but she wasn't 
fine.  She was weak and dizzy, and she fainted again during P. E., which was something
 she usually was good at.  Luckily, Ami called the ambulance, and she was taken to the
 hospital.  The next day, Usagi and Chibi-Usa decided to take Chibi Chibi to the hospital
 to visit her.  "Hi!  We brought Chibi Chibi too!" announced Usagi.  Just then, Seiya 
and Yaten arrived.  They were holding a bowl of a weird-looking brown goo.  "What the 
heck is that?  It smells sweet," said Chibi-Usa, sniffing it.  "It's chocolate syrup, 
peanut butter, and caramel.  It's for giving her sugar energy, and I made it in the 
blender myself," said Seiya proudly.  "Yeah, and you nearly broke the blender making
 it," snapped Yaten.  "Hold my gum, will ya, Chibi-chan," said Seiya, sticking her 
gum on Chibi-Usa's hair.  "Hey!  It won't come off!" shouted Chibi-Usa, trying to 
pull the gum out of her hair.  "Here, let old Seiya-chan help you," said Seiya, 
dumping her brown goo on Chibi-Usa's head.  "You dummy!  That'll make her hair 
stickier!" yelled Yaten.  Chibi Chibi, smelling the tasty goo, jumped up, pulled 
Chibi-Usa to the floor, and started eating the goo, getting herself tanged in Chibi-Usa's
 pink hair.  "EEEEEEK!!!!" shrieked Chibi-Usa, trying to pull the impulsive toddler 
off of her, to no avail.  Seiya, trying to be useful, grabbed Chibi Chibi by the legs 
and tried to pull her off, causing more screaming to come from both girls.  Just then
 the nurses came, and promptly threw them out.  "Well, you certainly helped your 
sister this time, ya goon," said Usagi sarcastically, still trying to get her future
 daughter and Chibi Chibi unstuck from each other.

	That evening, Seiya was messing up in the recording session.  "Hey, what's
 with you?  You're being stupider than usual," admonished Yaten.  "I don't think we
 should do the next concert.  We can't do it without Taiki-chan," said Seiya.  
"What?!" Yaten shouted, punching her.  "Why you little...!" Seiya grabbed Yaten by
 the neck, and the two of them tumbled around their apartment, fighting.  Just then,
 the phone rang.  "Hello, Seiya-chan?  Yaten-chan?  It's Ami.  I was helping my 
mother do her work at the hospital, and I happened to check on your sister," said 
the caller.  "Really?  How's she doing?" asked Seiya.  "She's a lot worse," said Ami,
 as Seiya dropped the phone, sobbing.	
	
	Chibi-Usa picked up the phone.  It was Seiya, and it sounded like she was
 still crying.  "You won't get in trouble, you go and visit her!" she sobbed.  
"Who?  Visit who?" Chibi-Usa asked.  "Taiki-chan!  Ami-chan called and said she's
 worse!" whimpered Seiya.  "What?!  I'll go visit her," said Chibi-Usa.  "Oh no you
 don't.  You can visit her after school tomorrow.  It's your bedtime," said Ikuko 
Tsukino, standing over Chibi-Usa.  

	After school, Chibi-Usa rode the bus to the hospital, carrying the drawing
 in her bookbag.  She had meant to show her the drawing at the first visit, but Seiya
 had ruined her chances.  After searching through the hospital, she found Taiki's 
room.  Taiki was asleep, but she woke up when she heard Chibi-Usa come in.  "I brought
 something to show you," said Chibi-Usa.  "Really, Chibi-Usa-san?" Taiki asked in her
 soft voice.  Chibi-Usa showed Taiki the drawing.  Taiki was shocked to see it was of
 their princess.  Suddenly, people were running everywhere.  "There's a monster!" they
 were screaming.  "Goodbye and get well, Taiki-chan," said Chibi-Usa, rushing out of 
the room.  Making sure no one could see her, she shouted "Moon Crisis Power, Make Up!",
 transforming into Sailor Chibi Moon.  Then she called up Usagi on their special Sailor
 Senshi communicator, and told her about the monster.

	"Stop right there!  You are attacking a place for healing!  I won't stand for it!
  Agent of love and justice, a pretty Sailor Senshi, Sailor Chibi Moon!  In the name of
 the Moon, I shall punish you!" shouted the pink-haired warrior.  "I'll give you a shot,
 little girl!" said the phage, jabbing a huge needle at her.  "Hey!  Watch where you're
 pointing that!  Pink Moonbeam Blaster!" shouted Chibi Moon, blasting the needle and 
sending it flying.  The phage then decided to try to grab her, and Chibi Moon jumped 
around, dodging the phage and wondering when Sailor Moon would show up.  "Leave her 
alone!" Sailor Moon appeared.  "Quickly!  Use your attack!" panted Chibi Moon.  
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" shouted Sailor Moon, turning the phage into a
 doctor again.

	Meanwhile, Seiya and Yaten were still arguing, as their fans waited for the
 concert to start.  "But what'll we say?  Taiki-chan's still sick!" pleaded Seiya.
  "We have to go on without her," said Yaten, trying to drag her older sister to the
 stage.  "No you won't," said a familar, calm voice.  Taiki was standing in the doorway,
 fully recovered.  "Now we can do our concert!" exclaimed Seiya and Yaten, and the 
three sisters got on stage together.
